Looks like it might be 30 chain, but I'm no chain expert

I just don't have the desire to ride on something that doesn't have brakes.
Has brakes. I'm not a kamikaze

A 35 would be 3/8 between pin centres and roller width of 3/16. hard to tell with that tape but it seems less than 3/8. Maybe ditch the chain and sprocket and get one that matches the motor sprocket.
One time on a skate board I was going down into a parking lot and hit the drain grate at the bottom. That was the end of my skate boarding and almost the end of me. I couldn't imagine one with a motor but it wouldn't be me riding it so fly at it.

On a further note, that little motor doesn't look like it has any reduction at all, just a centrifugal clutch off the end of the crank. One thing for sure, it will be suicide fast.A 35 would be 3/8 between pin centres and roller width of 3/16. hard to tell with that tape but it seems less than 3/8.

The little engine takes a 25 chain, I have one in my cellar.
How could I reduce it? This is just a project. I would most likely kill myself using this. I can't even roller skate. It's just been sitting around my garage begging me to do something with it. I'll get it going and probably sell it.
Perfect! Thank you. By an amazing coincidence the new motor and old board sprocket take the same size chain.
Oh it has brakes. I'm no kamikaze
