Need help with parts list for custom bike.

[DMJB]

I would like to build a custom tandem wheeled fat tire mini bike for the Alaskan back woods. Still need to finalize my drawing/design and part choices before ordering.

Could use some assistance on decided parts, tire size, engine, etc.

Questions:

What size wheel/tire choice would be good? Was thinking 22".

Any engine suggestions? Was thinking Lifan semi auto for durability. Not sure on size though. Would a CVT type set up cause any reliability issues?

Anyone have any suspension suggestions?

What thickness for frame would be enough?

Starting to think a step through type design is not a good idea. Perhaps it would be a bit long?
