I'd love my fatbike to have both, belt drive and a gearbox. I barely even bother to adjust the derailleur anymore since I'm constantly banging it everywhere anyway. Gearbox would also give more clearance for 6 inch tire on the rear. Some innovation on the brakes section would be in place too since disc brakes don't seem to like water and mud but mine are getting plenty of both.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

I want belted gearbox on any type of bike, and for such a bike to be affordable in my area
I want a touring bike/commuter with a belt. Had been looking at the Priority 600X but it's still pretty pricey and kinda big for a commuter.
I was contemplating that one too but same price concerns. A used one came up relatively close to me but it was the largest size and I need the smallest
Definitely not worth it if it doesn't fit.
