False claims

Honestly, unless you're dead set on the whole 2x2 fat bike concept, and instead wanted to focus on ride quality and usable power, I'd consider a used "stealth bomber" or "monster bike" with a large single hub motor. The weakest, cheapest one you can find should put you around the 5kW target, with hopefully a reasonable battery for that power and a crude but functioning frame. And while maybe you won't fit 4.0 tyres in it, most should accept much cheaper 3.0, which combined with the better suspension should give you a comfy ride. My neighbor has a setup almost like that and it's surprisingly smooth and plush on the bumps and roots, even despite the heavy hub.

I've never actually ridden such a fat bike before, but I imagine it would feel more like a tank, with some extra grip from the front wheel and straight line pull. I imagine a heavy front wheel would sacrifice turn ability, though, and 5kW is well below what a decent rear drive with a motorcycle tyre can put on the you make these comments. My blind dog got me up for a potty break an hour early this morning. Then she decided she wasn’t going back to bed. In my spare time I was thinking……maybe what I really want is a bike with lots of power and looks like it was professionally designed and manufactured. Similar to what your saying but in my searches I did see a few higher powered single hub full suspension bikes in the $1500 or less range.
