Using the Quadracycle as a pedicab

"After a few weeks with the Quadracycle, I have enough information to fairly compare it with the cycle rickshaw I drove last year.   The bottom line is that the Quadracycle is a lot more fun and earns more than 50% more per hour.

I described before the enthusiasm with which the Quadracycle is received.Think about this--you are riding a cycle and cars honk their horns, people roll down their windows and shout things at you, pedestrians yell out AND EVERY ONE OF THESE PEOPLE ARE CHEERING YOU ON!   The cycle rickshaw also is met positively by most people, but not with this kind of cheering.

The Quadracycle is also more stable.  I take it up and down almost any curb at almost any angle and feel comfortable doing so.  Quite a contrast from a tippy trike!

My theory is that the Quadracycle generates more income than the cycle rickshaw because of its beauty.   The new Dodge Viper red Quadracycle is a lot snazzier than the old, patched up Chinese cycle rickshaw I used to drive.  I have hardly any dead time (waiting for passengers to materialize) on the Quadracycle, compared to the cycle rickshaw."
