Depending on how powerful the motor is you can find out what to do. You can build just about anything from a supped up remote control car to something big enough for you.

Make a mini car that runs on sidewalks. It has large metal poles on the edges that retract, but they've got to be thick. Could be one of those 3 wheel cars if bolth of em' arent motorized.

If it has a trunk, stick a computer and a GPS in there. Mount a screen on the handlebars. Instant navigation system!

You could make a badass RC Car out of that. Hell, you could even have other people ride on it!

Motorized skateboard or RC car both would rock.

Soup it up as much as possible and make a motorized/remote control board kind of like a skateboard set it up so you can skate on it if you want or controll it with a remote control. Or use it to make a battle bot.
