Yes, a few folks have done it. Off the top of my head Ozzy and 7-11 among others, if memory serves. What are you thinking, ebike and 2 stroke or some thing like that? Post lots of pics!
I always thought a hub motor with a 4 smoker would be the perfect set up. Use the hub motor as back up and use a solar charger. Dunno but would be cool. E-Li is born!

Ever see this? YouTube - Chainsaw Bike
I really love the crazy, "just see if you can build it, builds"
I was checking out the Schwinn tandem the other day. Really a high quality and well made bike and a great candidate for a multiple engine set up. (Also be the only way I will ever get Carol on a MB) Schwinn: 2009 Tango Tandem

syncronizing two ht's might take an engineering degree. |

are you sure gearing the thing up wouldn't be more fun (& useable)? but maybe you've done that... |

I'm considering putting one of my old friction drives over the back wheel to backup the 80cc HT. Planning a 300mile trip next week. |
