[ausev] Generator idea.

[John Penry at TransTexasTrucks]

Sounds like you want to build an Electric Quadracycle, or an Electric 
"Horseless Carriage".
I've been toying around with the idea of making one as a series hybrid as a 
proof of concept.

I found this site a few months back.
http://www.szott.com/carriage/ec.htm with complete details.
Mr. Szott even mounted the alternator to an engine.

Go for it!
