That would only make sense if it were electric; you might at some point see some experimentation with a sort of rugged e-bike in that role, but an idling performance type internal combustion engine just doesn't fit the 99% of the time that is being eyes, ears, and approachable presence, for which an upright posture on a rigid frame mountain bike works wonderfully.
