I am sure anything can be done, just how much money are you willing to throw at it and what are your design built quality expectations?

There used to be kits available with spacers to increase the front wheel separation. You'd also have to get it re-registered as a trike ("quadricycle").

Definitely when the cost and bother of getting full licence is taken into account!

I'd still advocate for getting the full licence in due course though - the training involved is fun and it could save lives.
