Gas generator powered ebike with AC motor?

Where I live there is a restriction on Ebikes to 750 watts or 1 hp. I just so happen to have a 1hp 120v AC motor. Heavy duty rated for continuous use. So in theory can I plug that motor in to a small cheap gasoline generator, and use it to power a bike or trike? Im planning to just skip the whole battery thing, and run it direct. Can anyone see any problems i may have with this setup? I intend to use this for longer distance camping/hunting trips. to haul gear and whatnot.
