electric to gas project

What do you guys think on what engine I should get for this. Want to make a little mini chopper.

This should be plenty;

Anything bigger, I would go with the 6.5 HP, but there IS the matter of keeping the front wheel on the ground....Joe

alright thanks, I was just thinking how hard it would be to fit a predator on it

or would a 49cc engine on amazon work?

For a thing that light and small, you first need to look up the size of the engines and see if you can cram them in. THAT might be your limiting factor.

I used to build gas powered mini bikes and a 3HP would run off with me, so make sure you have good enough brakes. Running into a wall @ 35MPH can kill you dead as a hammer....Joe
