I've started this thread before but a new look is always good.
Does anyone know anything about quads?
Before my accident they seemed interesting to me. Now I'm thinking that a
quad may be the only way to go for the stability that it offers.
The "Mountain Quad" is no longer in production but it carried a price tag of
close to $8k. I can't see spending that kind of money on a pedal powered
vehicle that doesn't have a body and an assisting motor. Their web site is
still up, www.crank-it.com even though they are not making or selling any at
this point.
I read in VeloVision (great magazine from the UK) about a new quad ATB that
is being made in France. It is also going to be pretty pricy at around 3-4K
Euros.
The Rhoades Car has been in production for quite a while but they don't sell
a product that serious riders would be interested in (I think). I would love
to ride one. I have no need for speed so the weight isn't going to bother me
until I hit a good hill. I worry that I wouldn't be able to get something so
heavy up a big hill. On the other hand I'm planning to stick to rail trails
which are gently graded so the hill thing might not be an issue.
