    You can super moto them quite easily but you have to change the wheels, then the brakes because the wheels are a different diameter and then the suspension as it will sit far too low and be too soft

    Put some SM wheels in it you'll love it. Its ok with the standard brakes but stand on your nose with a big disc on the front.

    Oh, and welcome to the forum.
