I understand your motivation as I began with similar ambitions but there are some formidable issues. First, the saw clutch is not compatible with roller chain so you will need to find a suitable clutch. Second, you will require at least 18 - 20 to 1 gear reduction, that will require a jack shaft with very large sprockets. You could buy a wheel sprocket for a Happy Time or some such engine kit and mount to your rear hub. Finding a suitable method to mount the engine will also require a great deal of ingenuity.

After reviewing the issues I've described, I decided just to buy a kit and spend more time riding.
