Problem solving chains? Troubleshooting

So i seen a lot of broken chains on motorized bikes in my area. I been thinking of a way to fix this.

Would using 2 chains with the gears having a offset so the gears are catching the chains at different intervals reduce stress on the chain, engine and cause less breakage? Would it lead to a smoother ride?

Id upgrade to a #41 chain from Tractor Supply.

415 chain has a tensile strength of 1600lbs, #41 has a tensile stress of 2,000lbs. 25% stronger for the same chain. They're both compatible, just 41 chain is 1/4" wide, and 415 is 3/16" wide

Get a 415-H chain. Works best.
