You need more PSI!

I drove my first Mirage with EPS disabled, and it was manageable. But definitely heavier than the Metro/Firefly (factory manual steering, with bigger steering wheel diameter).

Probably not suitable for a driver with less upper body strength than my extensive and dedicated training regimen affords me.

EDIT: I think you also have 20mm wider non/LRR tires, no?
