    You need consistent sustained force to combat air resistance as you exit the atmosphere. If you go too fast too quickly you’ll put too much stress on the vehicle and you’ll lose a lot of energy. I don’t see this working well. Powerful 2-stage reusable rockets are the way to go until we have a space elevator.
