At a minimum, you would have to cut cut the axle shorter to even consider converting to a QR lever. I’d suggest contacting VO to see if you can buy a substitute front axle.

The nutted front axle is pretty appealing for bikes that you would leave locked up in public. Maybe you would have a use for that?
