There is no miracle : a 160cc engine must be geared pretty low to tow this much weight.

The CVT is setted either towards acceleration or top end speed (which would be stupid with a hauling vehicle)

Your contribution brings back thoughts of a quad based low streamliner (and then I recall that the main advantage of my bike is lane splitting induced reliability of my commute time ...)
