I just realized there's probably #BikeTooter folks who haven't seen the 8rad, an 8-wheel, 2-seat recumbent cargo cycle, or its second iteration the 8rad 2 solar.

- A vehicle the size of a large car. At the front are two comfortable reclined seats for riders with pedals ahead of them and the first set of wheels. Behind them is a structure somewhat reminiscent of a covered wagon, with rows of solar panels all over it. Two of the upper solar arrays on the near side are folded out to catch the sun, while two lower arrays are flat against the side. Inside the covered area is a large flat platform. Three more sets of wheels are visible below the cover. A large half-dome of clear plastic over thin rods protects the front. (remote)
