Wow, and all those tricks no helmet. They fuss at me here in DC, if I ride my wolf with all three wheels on the ground without one. It is fun to ride on two wheels with the trike.

If I tried that with my Quad, there'd be 4 taco-ed wheels on the first jump...!!! :(

Hey, any way to shorten the Street Fighter like that?

Looks to me like a Streetfighter rear, with a StreetFox front would work, no?

Absolutely. In fact, one of my plans that 's been scrapped was to cut the rear off the Hauler and the rear off the Fox, and attach the Hauler rear with a tongue. That way, you could have a conversion from trike to quad and back again. I posted a rough bike-trike-quad drawing in the summer of '07 that could convert a bike into a delta, tadpole or quad:

You're right, SSG. That's odd, but at least you are now vindicated! :)
I know one thing, I'm DEFINITELY interested, cuz way back when I first suggested
(& practically begged) Brad to build a quad, I was actually hoping for a SWB,
along the lines of the PedalCoupe: http://pedalcoupe.com/

In fact, at the time I suggested it, I posted the PedalCoupe link,
asking Brad if he would design us something like it!

When it was finished, Brad & Kat were kind enough to send me the StreetFighter plans for free,
for being the one responsilbe for "lighting the fire" under Brad, which resulted in him building,
by his own admission, what ultimately became one of his favorite rides! :punk:

While the StreetFighter is an AWESOME machine, I still want a "shorty"... :)

The Pedalcoupe is the sub-compact version of the Streetfighter! :cyclist:
