having seen and ridden a number of electric scooters and motorcycles and having built a number of electric bikes, a sloppy electric mini-motorcycle and having worked on alot of gas motorcycles, the C70 is maybe the least practical vehicle to base a project like this off.
I would go for an electirc bike, really, take a look at them, there are some nice ones out there, some nice kits, 40mph is not an issue with the better kits.
If you really want to be able to pedal at stop lights look at a honda gyro, they look weird, but what you are wanting to make is going to look weird either way.
