  • There are cities near coatlines and beaches that rent quad-cycles for tourists, sightseeing, pedicab taxi, etc. More offen, they stay broken longer compared to the standard 2-wheel bicycle for rent. In my youth I had a tricycle (20" wheels and a rear basket) that hauled daily about 70 newspapers in one trip. My downside, maintenance was never a simple walmart fix and the tricycle had a very short service life in the paperboy business. Teenage me relied more on my Huffy bicycle and 2nd refill trips for those heavy sunday papers. Reliability vs truckability (if that’s an actual word 😉). And on the business-side there’s the cost. Someone will need to have a proper dedicated bicycle workshop. A “backroom to fix bikes” will never cut it for the evermore complicated modern bike\e-bike.
