Anyway, Im still hoping our government will come to its senses and ban all this kind of contraptions in the streets. The state should compel those TODAs to follow certain standards for their 3 wheelers. And they can easily copy those made in China to make their vehicles safer, efficient and look alot better.
Last night on Quirino Ave, Manila I came across one of those motorized pedicabs but the bicycle is kinda custom built with the engine already placed under the "driver" with a sort of crude semi-automatic clutch & pulley drive system that is probably based around a centrifugal clutch system.

Anyway, my main gripe is that rolling heap of metal bars & tarpauline was allowed to run on the main roads and it doesn't even have the most basic of lighting. I mean, no headlights, no tail-lights, no lights whatsoever.
