    piranha is a great motor with lots of power. will defiantly not let you down. it is manual shifting and does have a kicker, so those are things you will have to be aware of. the kicker could cause your heal to hit the fenders when starting, and the clutch is no biggie.

    Cool

    I say go for it! I have a Piranha 150cc engine (Honda style head) in my US90 which for practical purposes is about the same as a 110 weight wise. It's in a Sprint tube chassis but still similar. It did take a custom front head mount made of aluminum to replace the Piranha head plate but nothing fancy.

    The 150cc has crazy low end power that will easily lift the front wheel in 3 gears anytime you poke the throttle. It is a blast to ride on the sand dunes with plenty of power to spare. It is close to double the hp in a stock 110cc it feels like and changes the whole feel of a small trike.

    Been super reliable and easy to tune with the Mikuni VM26 carb. With the big tires and light weight it's my favorite trike to play in the snow or on our frozen lake in the winter.

    No kick start as mine is converted to a Honda pull starter.
