Just a thought but if you want to make that scooter fly try finding a
Honda or Toyo horizontal shaft motor.
You can usually get them off pressure washers with bad pumps as those
motors can't be killed short of running them with NO oil and they are
usually high horse powered, 7 to 12.
These motors have high spin and good torque and can get that bike up
to 50mph.( I'd done that for so local yahoo a couple years back for
his camp mini-bike. Saw him last month and he had a pronounced limp so
I guess he got all the speed he wanted.)

You must've missed the part about the sixties. That kart is long gone, now.
I think it crashed when we were pulling it with a horse. Riders (both the
one on the horse, and--thankfully--the one on the cart as well) got off for
refreshments, and the horse decided to make an unscheduled run. I believe a
fence post did it in...stopped the horse, though.

Kids. Somehow I wonder how we survived.....
