That could be a nice power plant for a little go-kart or mini-bike if you could find a way to use it. This guy on Youtube who goes my Mustie1 does stuff like that. He is good with small engines and a few years back built a bicycle powered by a small engine. He fabricated almost everything for that thing, pretty cool.
