    I think if it were me I'd make a couple of drop axle housings for that thing that way it could be geared down since the larger diameter tires would make it want to run probably 3 times as fast as stock only there would be a huge strain on the little motors, droping the body down well below the hub centers would also help the CG and gyro and be much more stable to ride

    CG? What's a little CG among friends?
    Probably made a couple wheel adapters from one pattern to another. Good example of ill-applied initiative, countering logic and real design work.

    But he'll sue the OEM for damages from inevitable face plant.
