I think my dream tadpole trike might be a quad. I've always been impressed
with the "Mountain Quad" which is no longer being made. The only thing I'd
change about it is the price. $8K is a lot of money for a pedal power
vehicle that isn't a full velomobile. Speaking of velomobiles, I'd also like
the MQ to have an easily removeable full velomobile shell for all weather
riding.

- Windcheetah-style U-joint steering
- material doesn't matter as long as it's reliable, stable, comfy, efficient
- seat like Bacchetta EuroMesh - great compromise between hardshell and
mesh-only
- weigh 30 lbs or less
- high BB
I'd be OK with a smaller drive wheel if the gearing were stepped up
efficiently a la Dragonflyer if it kept the thing compact.

And make it foldable so I don't have to buy some gargantuan hitch rack
to transport it.
