79cc predator scooter?

[GW's Motorized]

I've got quite a few engines sitting on the shelf. 2 of them are 79cc predator engines. I've been wanting to do something with these for a while, but I also want to do something cheap. I've got an old school spoke wheel scooter laying around I was thinking about motorizeing. I know these can be dangerous, but I think this would be a fun project.
Thoughts?

I somehow feel like it would be safer than my 2 stoke auger scooter.

I was going to put one of these engines in a little tikes kids toy with a 5 spd transaxle, but I wasn't sure how I'd fit in it

Widen the floor pan & add a seat post. Then you can sit down & ride!!! & have a place for your feet. Better add a parachute too!!!

Run a centrifugal clutch with 15/60 gearing. Or 12/72gearing for faster take off. Run #35 chain so you gain some ground clearance. The chain will be close to the ground with that gearing & a 10" wheel.

Find a rear pocket bike wheel and you'll have a drum back back there.

Some had disc brakes too. Also I think a pocket bike wheel will fit between the dropouts.

It's just an idea. I think I have a 35 chain clutch laying around somewhere. I'm probably just gonna ignore my urges and stop thinking about it. It's a dumb idea and probably another money pit.
