Not if I want to keep all 4 wheels the same size. There is some tire
scrub on the front even with stock tires. I had planned on some
surgery on the aluminum tube frame to alleviate the problem but then
someone wanted the car more than I did so I sold it. Regrettably.
There are some pictures of the car on my website under "electric
vehicles". Also a photo of my scooter.
