3 Wheelers

**ghosthunter** · October 22nd, 2009 10:39 AM

What is the difference in price/cost for a typical Metro Manila tricycle (including motorcycle) and those three wheelers used for delivery/utlity like Pepsi, etc?

That might be a step forward (after 60 years) for the tricycle/sidecar design used in Metro Manila.

I believe the average cost of the bike is P65K... the sidecar will be about P15K without the borloloys.

After they pimp it up with whistles and lights... maybe another P50K or more.

For the Kuligligs... its probably about P30K - Brigs or Honda 50cc genset motor included.... - ball park figure.

I mean the one that look like this:

The rear flatbed can be changed into a seating area similar to FB vans.

That as compared to the cost of the regular tricycle with sidecar.

Actually I have seen some water and lpg delivery service vehicles using soemthing similar to it. I even saw a softdrink company using this as delivery vehicle to areas with narrow roads.

The engine is only slightly bigger than what is used on tricycle with side cars so it won't be fast so it cannot be used on the highways.

ahh i see, meron akong nakita gamit ng coca cola pero medyo maliit na version.

so ganun ang parang mainpurpose nya?
hmm mas durable ba ang ganyan compared to tricycles? or parang parehas lang?

It's main purpose is cargo/utility but it can be used to carry people as well.

I would think it would be better suited than the typical tricycle which is just a retrofit to a standard motorcycle. It can carry more people (4 to 6) with better comfort than the supposed anorexic two adults a standard tricycle sidecar is supposed to be able to carry.

The "Truck-cycle"

I remember, we used one of those with an open top when we delivered a refrigerator to our place. It pulled pretty decently, but I wouldn't recommend regular overloading 'coz the engine sounded heavily strained when we used one back then.

Given its setup, I think it could comfortably seat 4 people plus a few bags. The model with a reverse gear (used by Coke) would be nice as a shuttle in a big subdivision.

pati mas ligtas ang ganyan ano? hindi tulad ng tipikal na traysikel na makalampag at pag nabangga ay talaga nga namang patay ang pasahero.
