Gas powered engine horsepower equivalent to electrical motor horsepower?

[Elgin Clock]

Quick question for anyone who would like to respond.

Is there a way to equivalent Gas Engine Horsepower to Electrical motor power?
Are Electric motors rated in Horsepower??

Say a person wanted to replace a gas scooter motor (5HP) with an electric motor? Could this be done efficiently? What else do I need to know to accomplish this?


I already have a way to (theoretically) hook the original chain drive to the motor, just need to know what kind of motor I can use to make 5 hp.
(Maybe one of the motors from the kit? ) Are any of those equivalent to running 5 HP under load?
