Robot cantina is pretty much my guide to build a leaf range booster. Because of that channel I know that a 207 to 212cc gasoline engine is probably only good for about 40mph pushing a leaf.
A 390 to 420cc gasoline engine is probably good for 60mph behind a leaf.
And a go-kart cvt won't work how I thought it would on something the size of the leaf. Basically the cvt will run through their entire ratio regardless of what how fast the load is going.
I thought if the vehicle wasn't up to speed the driven end of the go-kart cvt would select a numerically lower ratio until the driven end speeds up. Some amount of fiddling with the cvt might get you there but it doesn't seem like it.
