Just A WILD GUESS HERE ---- top speed - 70 mph - if you are willing ? Gear box needed - if you want different gear ratios ? or - a slipping type of clutch can be used.. Good luck with your project from - Mountainman
I heard that the lawn mower motor is bad for this kind of things cause normally it works in a vertical position, to mount it on a trike/bike it will be on horizontal position, and that way won't works.
Is that true? Any way to resolve this issue?

Ownr -- I think that you will find that to be correct --- you can check with the motor manufactor (find their web site) for the answer to this question... Happy riding from - Mountainman
If an engine was made to be vertically mounted (speaking of the cranksaft), it can only be vertically mounted. The oiling system is not designed for the engine to be horizontal and it will seize. However, successful vertical shaft motored bikes ave been built. Here is an example.
