I thought you were aiming for 1/2 to 1 HP? That's 375 to 750 watts in electric-bike terms, a very common size for one or two wheels. For range, leaving the generator at home, you either add more batteries or else add streamlining, which also increases speed. What did you have in mind for the rest of it?
