Bought my Mom a Harley.

Here's a video that may help. It's kind of long but hang in there. Daren has some ideas. He also has a lot more videos on that vehicle. He has one that shows how fast that thing is. It's fast.

That is pretty much the setup I am looking at. I think I am going to go for the 212cc predator. We have no hills to climb and speed goal is 15 to 20mph. Currently it has a starter generator setup. I think I can make it start the 212 also and that would retain the charging system.

Yes to all of above.

I think I could remove the recoil off the predator and put a pulley there for the starter generator.

Sold the Harley shortly after I bought it. Two Club Cars popped up and one had a cab with a dump bed. Mom wanted that one. I have acquired most of the parts to complete the conversion to gas from electric power. 11hp Honda engine with electric start and charging system. Comet style belt drive and a forward reverse gearbox. The Harley went to guy who wanted a restoration project.

I am going to try to get started on this project soon. Right after I get my 61 international lo boy running good and cutting grass. My shop is a disaster at the moment.
