Nycewheels sells these 7 speed freewheels with gearing between 11 and 30 teeth.

https://www.nycewheels.com/7-speed-freewheel-11-30.html

That would give you wider gearing in both directions.

I just picked up a Sinclair A-bike (6" wheels). Neat little novelty bike and I would never use it for commuting.

Where would these get used?
My 12" Mobiky has a terminally flexy stem and weighs 35lbs . Shear novelty, not very usefull, but makes even Brommie riders laugh.
Smaller wheels than that seems skateboard like and would need glassy smooth road
12" is really pushing it on real world streets, to me
Smaller stuff looks clever, but again where do they get used? Big parking lots? Pit bikes?
Seems like walking would be easier

I rode my Carryme for 3 plus hours while my wife was riding her Yeedoo Wolfer. I had no problem keeping up with her.
