Ernie's "Quike"

I made a socially distanced call on a friend while out on my bicycle today to deliver a new bicycle helmet complete with rearview mirror.
It is the first time we'd gotten together in over a month.
He's been working on his electric quadricycle build for over a year now and is in the final stages of perfecting his creation he calls his "Quike".
A master fabricator with a brilliant mind, he is a simply amazing with his wonderful engineering ideas and perseverance in bringing them to life.
I won't go in to all the engineering involved with building a machine like this from scratch, but I will say it functioned flawlessly on my trial ride. 
We rode together for five miles or so, quite a feat for this 80+ year old gentleman.
The electric motor assist and dual disc brakes on the rear wheels provide a thrilling, yet safe ride.
The pandemic has crimped our get-togethers, but not our delight-filled friendship.
