What to do with Honda Trail 90 parts?


So I picked up this collection of Trail 90 stuff. There is enough to make one full regular bike but then I will still have an extra frame and misc. I thought about doing an electric conversion. It would probably be under 200 pounds, I weigh about 220.

Hub motor or regular and how many watts?
Off road, or on road?
A stock trail 90 makes about 8hp would an electric need less or more for similar performance?

I think this is probably outside of my budget unless I used some kind of donor motor and battery. Any ideas?

I can get a simple 125cc Chinese motor and transmission with carb and stator for about $250, this would be my other choice. A quiet electric deer stalker seems kind of cool though.
