What motor to power my r/c mower?

Hi,

I’d like to transform my 5.5hp honda powered mower to an r/c driven mower.

I intend to use two electric motors to control the mower. At first I tried to find wheelchair motors but they are very hard to source in Belgium. I was wondering if the Banebots 12V 263RPM 2527oz-in Planetary Gearmotor w/RS-540 Motor would be sufficient to move the mower forward.

I expect the total weight of the mower (including batteries to be around 30-35 kgs).

Thanks for your help.
