My research into sand tires showed me that knobby tires were bad. They pick up sand. I found a wide Continental tire with tapered knobs that bit, then released sand. The trusty Moby Bite tire was one of the best.

An axe holder?? Seriously? I love the concepts though... sorta like a laid-back Pugsley or Moonlander. Seems like you'd want an even-lower gear for deep sand though, with the frame as laid-back as it is standing and mashing probably isn't going to be super-effective.
