it is 35 kg and the man i bought it from delivered it in a van to my house. the 2nd and 3rd person are still called stokers that doesent change even on a bike build for 6 which is called a hex. a tandem by definition is the seating arrangement hence a bike for 4 people which is a called a quad tandem is by definition still a tandem because of the seats being one behind the other. the brake and gear cables are longest. it is fun to ride got to be careful with turns.

If it were my bike I'd be worried about the stress a kick stand could put on the frame where it is attached. I've read of ordinary frames being damaged by kick stands, and the force on the attachment would be much greater with a bike like this.

I could be totally wrong. I have no personal experience of kick stands and tandems, and it might be that correctly done, you will have no problem but it might be worth checking.

Hello decadence
Given, in the UK, we are only allowed out if there are two or fewer people together, which seat stays empty when you ride?

Why not put a shop dummy on that seat. Then the balance and symmetry will be preserved even when social distancing on your triple. Don't forget to put a helmet on her head.
