What is a commercial quadricycle primarily characterized by?

  1. Four wheels

  2. Propelled entirely by human power

  3. Used exclusively for transporting goods

  4. Equipped with a motor for propulsion

The correct answer is: Propelled entirely by human power

A commercial quadricycle is primarily characterized by being equipped with a motor for propulsion. This distinguishes it from other types of vehicles that may also have four wheels or can be human-powered. Although some quadricycles can indeed be propelled entirely by human power, the term "commercial quadricycle" typically refers to those designed for commercial use, which usually includes a motor to facilitate operation in a more efficient and suitable manner for transporting goods or people over a distance. This type of vehicle often serves a specific purpose in commercial settings, such as food vending or in urban areas where compact and versatile transportation is needed. The motorized aspect enhances its utility, allowing for easier navigation and a broader range of operations compared to non-motorized versions. Thus, in the context of a commercial quadricycle, having a motor for propulsion is a more accurate characterization than just being human-powered, which does not align with the intended design and use of a commercial quadricycle.
