a 4-wheel pedal car isn't the same as a motor car. Once you slap a motor on it, it doesn't matter if it can still pedal.

And I'm inclined to agree with vegaspaddy.

Just don't let the cops see if you have a motor on it. I don't know about your state, but here in CO even for our motor-assisted-bikes you have to have a drivers license to ride one.

i just remembered another reason why new prototypes stick to 3 wheels, by doing this they do not have to worry about all the crazy impact tests, front,side,rear, too many diameters too follow to make their vehicle road worthy.

since most of the start up companies have limited resources and the costs to make their projects 4 wheels would bankrupt them before they even strated.

sorry watch way too much of science channel...

I am delighted, and surprised that one younger than me (44) remembers Laugh In. I was just a little kid. You probly saw it in cable syndication, along with Twilight zone, etc.

But what a great association.

About the...quadracycle thing, though. I wonder if you can sync two 80 cc motors....

Now that was funny back then...and todays kids only react if it has a remote gamepad with bomb accessories!
Here in Utah, if it has a motor, it is a motor vehicel and is mandated by all laws pertaining to such. To even have a 50cc pocket bike on the road, you need to have a motor cycle endorsement on your lisense and you must be 16 or older. And, you best have that pocket bike registered with the DMV, plus tags and insurence are required. Same as a bicycle, if it has any type of motor on its' frame, peddles or not, it is concidered a motor bike/ motorcycle, and is still under DMV state required laws. Being, lights, turn signals, brake light, safety helmet required if under 18, and you best have a motor cycle safety drivers coarse card too, or else you will loose your go-ped and spend some time in front of the judge. Utah is one of the worst states when it involves any type of motor bike/ motorcycle. Really sucks!
