Well i would go with a 50cc or under 2-stroke inframe kit available at gasbike.net and many other places.
If its for road use check with your local laws,as i believe the operator of the motorized bike will need a license atleast.
A electric bike or kit is also a option.

Hi and welcome to the forum. I'm in Milwaukee and have several builds finished now. I have a lot of information to share with you regarding engines and state laws. You do not need to stay under 50cc in Wisconsin, there is no cc limit on motorized bicycles currently. This could and likely will change. Feel free to private message me and I'll try to help anyway I can.

Don't you still need a license? will his teenager have a license?

Yes a driver's license is required for on road use. Off road I don't think so. There are several provisions in the statutes about licenses. A teenager can get a drivers license here at 16 and I seem to remember something about temporary or learners permits, I'd have to look it up to see what it was though.

I found the section about license requirements, I'm not sure what all of it means but I'm sure the DMV will be able to answer questions.
