With regard to hydraulic transmission, I remembr someone making a pushbike with a system like that, and the power loss thriough the system meant it was like riding up a mountain to just go along the flat at enough speed to keep upright. Pumping losses are horendous and that is why there are large oil coolers on plant using huge diesel engines with TORQUE to keep them going..
