You could, in theory, rebuild the rear wheel with a BMX flip flop hub, replace the axle with a longer one and space it out to 120-130 mm (depending on the frame), and install a 14T metric freewheel. But thats a whole lot more complex than just installing a larger chainring or using a 14T track cog.
