Anyone use a pocket bike motor?

I've researched some of the cheap chinese pocket bike 49cc engines and they claim to put out about 3 hp at 11,000. I was wondering if anyone used a pocket bike motor, and how they performed.

The trick would be getting one up to 11k rpm. I have a junk pocket bike that I rescued from a dumpster and the chain it uses is tiny plus even on a bike that small the rear sprocket is almost as big as the rear tire. If I remember right the front sprocket only has about 6 teeth.

I've been tempted to go the other way and put a China Girl engine on the pocket bike. lol
