We are just a couple of middle-aged recreational cyclists who decided to try something different for pedal-powered transportation.
We live in the South Keys area of Ottawa and bike a lot on the local roads in this part of town and also on the NCC parkways on Alcatel Sunday Bikedays.
Not at all - just as a quadracycle won't do everything a car can do, it also isn't a complete substitute for a bicycle either. So the bikes will stay, when we are able to ride them.
A number of accounts we have read indicate that many quadracycle owners don't put a lot of miles on their bikes after starting on four wheels. In our first year on four wheels we found that is very true, quadracycling is so much fun that the bikes do tend to get dusty!
(For more about this, see two reviews 1 & 2)
Owning what we think is the first quadracycle in Ottawa has attracted quite a bit of attention and people are always asking us about it.
We signed up as agents for Rhoades Car, which enables us to get interested people a direct line to complete information, sent out by the factory. After that our work of connecting people is done and if you want to buy one you deal directly with the factory in Tennessee.
We started Quantum Quadracycle to be a Rhoades Car agent. We named it "Quantum Quadracycle" because it fits - a quanta is a "discreet package of energy".
In this website we are happy to share our quadracycling experiences with you, to answer your questions, or show you our quadracycle.
Have a look at Find out more and About Quadracycles for more information, along with our quadracycling diary and photo gallery.

If so, we would love to hear from you about your ownership and riding experiences, no matter what brand it is. Please write to us and let us know what you like and dislike about it, how far you have been and what kinds of adventures you have had with it.
