Going to be really inefficient and possibly unstable for anything that is longer than a few blocks or anything where the terrain changes. Bike wheels are large for a reason

And risky too, obstacle resilience goes up rapidly with bike wheel size. This will get you killed on the first tram track that you try to cross.
