Hi,
First post here. There is a guy near me who mounted a small gas motor (unsure of the HP) to a hand truck to his bike. it was high mounted similar to the bike shown in this post. He uses a rubber wheel off the driveshaft/gearbox as a friction drive for the pneumatic wheels on the hand truck. He had the engine set up like a lawn mower with only a deadman switch and no throttle cable. I know it's still powered by gasoline but im sure similar yet safer system can be done with an electric motor and batteries.
