Mainly because the drive to the front wheel is by chain rather than roller (fair enough - the chainsaw has a built in clutch after all). There are enough bikes with motorised front wheels rather than rears. I wonder if it's made for russian loggers to get to and from work? When they get there, just dismount the bike drive chain, undo the mount bolts and off you go with your chainsaw ready to cut down some trees. Similar to how I've seen mediterranean farmers use devices that look very much like self propelled walk-behind cultivators as the power units for traditional horsecarts, making them into impromptu low-speed (about 5-10mph, not that big an issue if you're only going a few miles one way at the start of the day, then the same going back at the end) road-going tractor-trailer units.
