Well that too, but a lot of generators need more power,...on the other hand, I've seen a lot of CH250 elite scooters used on an anchored platform to uproot trees and stumps to clear land... They were used for a lot of other torquing things, like hauling slaughter house carcasses, bulls, cows, horses, 20hp is a lot if U use it right,.....but I think a scooter is the best application..
