quadracycles

A quadricycle is a four-wheeled, pedal-powered vehicle. Similar to a bicycle, it is propelled by human effort through pedals. Quadricycles typically seat one or more passengers and are often designed for recreational use, such as touring parks or beaches. Some quadricycles are also used for utility purposes, like transporting goods or for short-distance commuting in urban areas where their slower speed is not a significant drawback.

The design of quadricycles can vary widely. Some resemble larger, enclosed bicycles, while others might have a more open, cart-like structure. They generally feature a steering mechanism, typically a handlebar or a steering wheel, and a braking system. The seating arrangements can be in a tandem fashion, one behind the other, or side-by-side.

While not as common as bicycles or tricycles, quadricycles offer an alternative form of human-powered transportation. They can be a more stable option than a two-wheeled vehicle, and the ability to carry multiple people or cargo makes them versatile for certain applications. The prevalence of quadricycles is often linked to tourist destinations and specific recreational areas.
