$400 reward for stolen electric quadracycle
[url]https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/bik/d/seattle-400-reward-for-stolen-electric/7144922414.html
Maybe it wasn't stolen. Maybe it just got sick of everything and ran away.
Rode away. (Whatever.) Such a sad photo, as it looks back at the city and ponders the passenger it left behind. Chin up, quadracycle! Brighter days are ahead!

Take a moment today to pour one out. Craigslist, A Tragedy.
https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/...145641342.html
Jokes aside, I'd love to put them on the middle of a flat bar as bike packing aero bars. They're the perfect shape.
Never used and never installed. Onza "Judy Yellow" Mountain Bike vintage bar ends. I never was able to buy the bike I wanted.... So these sat in a drawer for decades.

I can just envision the look on the guy's face as he rode this off. Head on a swivel. 30mph tops. Adrenalin junkie!

Please note that you should only purchase this bike if you are serious about getting hurt.
