so what would you do with that?
That is kinda a small engine to do anything with unless you have a metro or likewise. I want to put that in my truck (my v6 struggles enough

) .

Series hybrid. Electric drive to the wheels; Metro engine to charge batteries when needed.

...or to drive an Ultralight aircraft. Metro 3-cyl's are a popular replacement to the Rotax engines used in Ultralights.

I guess, but i wouldn't want to build one of those myself, working in an electric engine to work with a gas powered car. I would think it would be easier to just make the engine a generator.
