That is going to be expensive to buy, expensive to fix when it breaks and most likely not possible to fix yourself.
Sounds cool though

Not to mention extremely inefficient.

Unless it gets really popular, you're probably right.

A couple days ago my ebike died on my way home and I still made it back. What would happen on this bike I wonder

Yeah, sometimes I just switch off the motor on mine to cruise around. Can't do that without a chain or belt drive.
I definitely wouldn't buy one of these.
