After looking for somthing diffrent ,I built this for my wife and I. Both can pedal or just one, but only the driver steers. You can be in diffrent gears for however you like to pedal. have a little trailer I have to finish with a cooler on it for going to the camp store. Making the surry top for it this week. Image

Very cool indeed. Will it fit in the back of the truck so you can take it camping? It looks like a couple of 20" BMX bikes, and a couple of 26" mountain bikes that were cut, and extended with square tubing?

It will be even better when you get the top on it. :thumbsup:

I like the Squirt too.

Beetween $275 and $300 in it. haul it on the bike rack on the back of my camper or slide it in the bed of my truck. Made a little trailer for going to the camp store for ice or whatever. Image

I think something like this would be interesting.... 8)
Maybe a trike version for us "less stable" folks... and make sure your health insurance is paid up, just in case a cat should appear....

(warning! ... turn down your volume, the music is irritating!)
