This Ain't Your Grandma's Quadricycle!

And not just because you're grandma doesn't own a quadricycle, but it's probably best she not do any pedaling considering her crystalline hips and all. So, yeah, the BigDog Quadricycle: a bike that won't hesitate to tear your balls to shreds and ride over them if you ever get a pant leg stuck in the gears. Safety first! (Wear shorts)

Measuring 11 feet, 4 inches long and 8 feet high, this crazy ride uses go-kart brakes and axles and recycled bike parts to get you on the road. Apparently those outer rims are parts of a drainage pipe, so you know it's nice and sturdy.

Pretty neat. As far as I can tell it's only missing one thing: a motor. What? I have chicken legs, okay?! Kidding, these things are like oaks. AND NO ACORN JOKES!

Several more shots and a video of the bike in action (with flames!) after the jump.

Thanks to Robin, whose quadricycle sadly became a tricycle after an unfortunate run-in with a curb.

    The quadski is the lovechild of a jetski that humped a 4-wheeler despite Poseidon warning the watercraft that it would upset the balance of the oceans and the moon would probably come crashing down to earth. That must have been some good-ass sex, amirite?! The Quadski ($TBA) ... / Continue →
