The way it is set up You could use any engine within reason as long as it does not impede into the driver and passenger seating area, which is going to be tight already.
The Honda engine was basically free and I think it will have enough power for this application.

9 HP does not sound like much but remember it is almost half a liter (432CC) and the torgue is 16 foot pounds which is what will really drive this vehicle.

At this point in the money spent, a different engine will mean I use this Honda engine in a bike, but personally I think it will be fine.
