I don't see how changing the tire would be that much worse.  Just use the machine on it, but carefully.

Although that would be a major drawback if touring in a remote part of the world and trying to change it by the side of the road.  Out of interest do you like the design?  Do you ever see a major manufacturer adopting it?

Do you think we will ever see a long range adventure bike with shaft drive?  I am thinking something with decent specs like the Energica Experia?  Granted shafts are not as efficient as chains, but it would be a maintenance dream.  Plus if it had a 20 kWh battery, we would still see decent range.
