Their TerraTrike Path Quad has been Extended by 12-inches. Ashley says:

This is a prototype extended quad with a 12 inch longer wheelbase and 20-inch cargo area. The new welded rear cage makes this the strongest quad we have made to date. We have tested the cargo capacity with over 300lbs in addition to the standard 300lb rider weight capacity.

Now, you may be asking what are the implications for Fargo, my quadricycle under UTC design? We will have to wait and see, won’t we? In the meantime, see more pictures of this custom quad here. Thanks! –jim

This is a Utah Trikes Custom Build. Ashley [the designer & builder of my quad] says:

When I decided to trick out an Expedition for my own personal use I decided to start with a custom color. Mainly, that was to ensure that I will keep the trike for a long time and not trade it away. I chose to match my motorcycle with a custom Harley copper color that is sure to be unique. This Expedition is also different than other Catrikes that you have seen because it is equipped with a 700/29er rear wheel and a lo-profile Durano Plus on the rear. This necessitated the use of our Wheel Extension Kit which also extended the wheelbase by about 2 inches. This trike handles like a dream and made it up to 63MPH on its inaugural ride down from the summit. The gear range is incredible, thanks in large part to the Schlumpf High Speed Drive.
