When I give it gas I hear a thumping and running sound which increases the faster I go. I changed the tire, but it makes the same sound. Some have mentioned bearings.

Many thanks. I know it needs repair asap, but I can't afford it for another week. Can local trips be taken?

With a bad bearing it could cause other problems and a loose front wheel so I do not recommend driving it.
