Since a Kawasaki 250r has about 30 HP, should I go for a motor that also has 30 HP? It seems like with electric I could get away with less HP because I have to worry less about acceleration with the torque of the electric motor. Let me know what you think.

I'm still not decided if I want to go with the stock 250cc gas engine or convert it to electric, but it'lll be good to get as much information as I can to make an informed decision
