I got a Worksman Mover trike for free from a friend. I'm getting it cleaned up to play with and I'm looking for options on motorizing it.
I'm not sure exactly how heavy it is but I'm a stronger than average guy and I had a hard time loading it into my truck by myself. Just about everything about it is heavier duty than any bicycle hardware I've encountered. So I figure the 2 stroke 80cc engine kits would have a pretty tough time with it.
I'm open to both electric and gasoline options and would prefer something cheap.
We have a ton of junked golf carts and Diahatsu mini pickups at work that I might be able to source parts from. Unfortunately all of the golf carts are gasoline and I can't exactly pull a whole motor from one of those. Would an electric starter-generator from a gas golf cart be up to the task? Would it burn up with extended use in the "starter" mode?
