The manufacturer known as Tecnoart di Pensalfini Sante created the Surreys in 1962, and is the leading supplier throughout Europe. In 1985, the Italian manufacturer entered into an exclusive
agreement with Tecnoart of America, Inc., a family owned and operated business, to import and distribute the quadricycles. Through their combined efforts Tecnoart Surreys have gained tremendous
popularity in America.
Easier than riding a bike, a quadricycle is a stable four wheeled pedal powered cycle, commonly referred to as a Surrey. It is designed to resemble the classic Model T automobile, and to make it
possible for people of all ages and sizes to ride/exercise comfortably and worry free. No need to remember how to "ride a bike" because it has bench seats, rack and pinion steering (by ), and
motorcycle grade drum brakes. Depending on the model (Sport, Bus, or Super Bus) Tecnoart Surreys can accommodate 2,4, or 6 people pedaling, 1,2, or 3 people as passengers, and 2 small children in
the seatbelt equipped front basket. A singular vehicle for the entire family: mom & dad, the kids and even grandparents can enjoy it together.
The frame is constructed with heavy gauge tubular steel for strength, then specially treated and powder coated for durability. All other frame components are stainless steel thus preventing rust,
keeping "the look" clean, sharp, and attractive for the life of the surrey. Additionally, Tecnoart Surreys are the only surreys in their class equipped with an aluminum diamond plated running board
for the comfort and safety of the middle passengers.
Available colors are red, blue, yellow, and orange. Customized colors and "theme" surreys, such as the Halloween or the Patriot, are also available for a small premium.
Illustrated below, the very first surrey created by the manufacturer back in the early sixties. It used a "tiller" style steering mechanism, which was later replaced by an actual automotive rack
and pinion.
