Off Road Hybrid Buggy

I am in need of an off road vehicle similar to a Yamaha Rhino, but lighter, smaller, and preferably Electric. I've looked at Electric Golf Carts, but they are too big and heavy. I have narrowed it down to taking a couple of small dirt bikes, remove the engines, tank, seat, upper frame, lengthen and attach them together, and put a couple of seats in it and electric power. For the final vehicle, I'm thinking Golf cart motor, and Smart Battery Lithium Ion batteries. The prototype can be done with a couple of Razor MX 650 kids electric Motocross bikes, as they are prevalent and fairly cheap. Using those, the whole thing could be done for around $1,000. If that proves out my idea, I can build the good one with a big motor and Smart Battery Lithium Ion batteries, and add a Yamaha EF2,000iS Generator, for battery charging. Your thoughts please!
Thanks...
