Bat bike Mini Bike

[Vikram]

Hey guys,
I am about to start a build for a bat bike styled mini bike. Obviously I am going to fit large wheels to it to give it the bat bike look. I have 15" steelies lying around and would like to make use of them. My question is, would the 212 Predator 6.5hp be enough to power the rear wheel? I am aiming for 20mph. What sort of gearing would you recommend?
Thanks

Hello and welcome.
I hope you have a welder(mig( not flux Core) or tig) and mostlikely a lathe at least.
If you are going to use automotive wheels, you will need a lathe. I had to on my bike.

Yup, I got a metal lathe and a mig welder

The 6.5 should be string enough IMO
