Our quadracycle arrived on February 8th, 2007! It was cold outside, the white stuff on the ground is snow.

The truck arrives on a windy cold day in February.
A box the size of a full-sized pool table was in the truck. It was about 8 X 5 X 4 feet! Fortunately the driver helped us unpack and he even took the box! I don't know what we would have done with it.
Ruth gets first try at sitting on the 4W2PCP, even while the packing tie-wraps are still in place. She is happy as evidenced by the smile.

Left rear wheel showing the disc brake assembly.
Right rear derailer.
Right rear disc brake installation. The brakes work very well.
Handlebars, brake levers and the optional deluxe seats. The brake levers have integral parking brakes built-in.
The seats actually fold forward when needed - they are very comfortable to sit on.
The optional rearview mirror.
The steering connection to the left front wheel. The steering is very light and precise. The red item is a chock as this thing rolls when left alone on a sloped driveway.
Front view showing the handlebars and brake levers.
Steering linkages and company logo.
Right front chain ring and pedals. This is the 46 tooth chain ring - the largest that the manufacturer offers.
One of the intermediate derailers. The drive system has two derailers and 36 gears on each side.
The shifters - two a side, mounted on a special tube.

Ruth is very pleased with the quadracycle, despite the cold weather and even drove it from the bottom of the driveway into the garage!
The quadracycle is now home in the garage, waiting for spring to arrive! The groundhog says it will be soon!
