None of my race bikes had either a kick or electric start. . .
We used to sneer at people carrying the extra weight.
Although I never tended to stall them in a creek or 1/2 way up a hill when the front stops on a rock.
. . . and I could paddle or run and jump start, being tarmac.
Ranger does look good.
Wet mod the e.starter side and it looks like a blanking plug over the kick shaft; find 2nd hand parts and start it cold with kicker.
