Going to Eau Claire this weekend. Might have to arrange a showing.

Although I don't see much of a practical use for it (I don't think my wife would appreciate me ditching the 9-5 to run a pedicab), they sure look cool.

From the ad it looks like he has plenty. I wonder if he makes them in Eau Claire.

my neighbor makes side cars too. they're smaller and single seat. they have a less polished look to them, but i bet they're cheaper.

i'll ask him next time i see him out in his yard. not really sure if he builds them for profit or as a hobby or what. but there are 3 of them in our neighborhood. and i know i've seen other ones he's built rollin around town. he's usually out and about, hopefully i can bump into him soon.

I'd be interested to know too, mostly so I can drag a couch around to outdoor events.

Could you sit there doing nothing while someone else pedaled?

This is a peddlers website I guess. Not a sit and do nothing website.

I bet you could put a crankshaft between the two rear wheels and make your cargo do some work.

I know Pat of the Wienery makes sidecars as well. Not sure when I'll see him next, but I could ask if he's interested in selling them.
