Rhoades Car Owners??? Quadracycles???
I have also been very interested in a quad. The thing I don't like about the
Rhoades is the weight. At close to 100 pounds I can't imagine it would be much fun to ride up hill at any speed. The Mountain Quad is fascinating but it costs $8K and still weighs 50 pounds.

I agree. 100 lbs is a deterrent. The Quadracycle Sprint: http://www.quadracycleinc.com/showroom/showroom.html only weighs 70 lbs. but I have never seen one of them before and am not sure of the durability, however, that model DOES have 24" wheels, sealed bearings,rack and pinion steering, dual brakes, the equivalent of positraction rear drive, AND front end suspension. Canopys are an option with the Quadracycle too, but they are STRIPED in the color of the bike and White, and I rather like the canopy on the Rhoades Car. I am just getting back into riding everyday again, but for my around town business in a fairly flat community a quad would be a kick (if it didn't kill me pedling the sucker up some of the hills.)
