Thanks for the site Patrick!

Ryland, Thanks for the info on the weight. The total weight of engine, transmission, exhaust, etc should still probably be between 250-300lbs right?

I was thinking of wiring my own Li-ion pack that would just be a few inches thick.

I was just thinking of using the brushless 10kw dc motor they have, not the hub motor. Has anyone had any success with those? They look like fairly good motors, but I have no experience with them. Do you have any other recommendations for motors? I'd like to get something with a high efficiency so that I don't need to make the battery pack as big, or the generator. The price looked fairly good for them, and they had a controller matched for them, so that's why I was interested. Do you have a recommendation on an efficient motor/controller setup for a good price? I'd like to have at least 40kw peak power, but I could probably do less.
