Either way... I like the pusher trailer design using a small cart wheel on the ground. This keeps the bike legal with peddles and such, plus you can create a quick disconnect and a swing up or rack system for leg power mode (out of gas lol).

Take a look at the expensive but totally cool product Ride Kick

Now think of a small gas motor driving it. Use a fairly good size rock to hold traction. When you break down or run out of gas and have to go leg power, drop the rock off to live with other rock friends; Set it free! lol Then walk or peddle the bike home with just the weight of the motor and rack.
