I've thought of swing arm suspension (VW), but expect it would be heavier than I need as the car was much heavier, while the ATV would be very similar, and I think the whole front end (wheels, brakes, suspension, and most of the steering system) could be used with little or no modification - cheap, easy and light!

Does anyone have ideas/experience with the issue of wheels/tires - using an ATV front end seems to push one into wide tires. I'd prefer to use small scooter tires (around 3", probably on a 10 inch wheel). The Yamaha Warrior 350 ATV front end that is available to me uses a 4 hole wheel. I wonder if it's possible to buy narrower wheels that would fit the ATV front end and be compatible with the 3" scooter tires?
