My kids Odyssey has a 12HP engine and goes over 60MPH.  You can soup it up to go even faster.  Other kids ATV has a 150 cc enfgine goes about 55, soooooo   you can probably get about 70 or so out of that if ya gear it rite.   Have fun!!!

Well, I did not know you were going to actually race these things. See, I thought you were just trying to build a joy ride vehicle. Your actually trying to race, well I guess Skyking knows all the ins and outs of that ha? Well, happy racing!
