Honestly, I think adapting Kamen Rider is less of a "can they do it" and more of a "should they do it." Not only would a Kamen Rider adaptation be far more expensive to make then Power Rangers, even if they do reuse the combat footage, Kamen Rider designs tend to be a lot more... weird then Sentai designs and some of them just won't appeal to an American audience all that much. I mean, just look at Ex-Aid. What american company would want their main *boy* hero to be pink? And that's not even getting into the rest of Ex-Aid's design.

Besides, what chance would this Kamen Rider adaptation have at having its own identity? No matter how weird or outlandish the designs are, people will always think of the show as a Power Rangers ripoff. The only people who would know or care otherwise are people who are aware its an adaptation of a Japanese show.

No matter how I look at it, adapting Kamen Rider is an uphill battle with no real reward. At least, not only that can't be gained with a lot less effort and a lot more creative freedom.
