3 Wheelers

swing up door-roof

- mas mababa yung chance na mabasa tayo kapag umu-ulan dahil fixed ang windows.

But how about ventilation on sunny days? With sealed "windows", the interior of the sidecar would be like a green house. Or does it have front air "intakes" or even a fan?

[jpdm]

why not a "gull wing" doors... para puede na ring "payong" pagbaba sa tricycle :D

Puede!

- Mas malaki po yan sa mga existing natin na tricycle sidecars, mas maluwag ng kaunti sa loob. Ang importante po kasi hindi tayo mababasa kapag umu-ulan. Nung college po kasi ako kapag papasok nako sa Adamson, kapag umu-ulan pumapasok yung tubig at nababasa sapatos, medyas, pants ko, pati underwear ko basa din. Tapos sasakay ako sa aircon bus, e di ginaw na ginaw ako. Naiisip ko na ilang dekada ng ginagamit itong DESIGN ng tricycle hindi manlang nag improve!

-Mas magaan ito, estimated weight is around 18 K. Yung existing sidecars natin ngayon nasa 40 to 60 K. Masasabi ko MAS MATIPID sa gas.

Naisip ko lang naman yang concept na yan dahil hindi tayo puwedeng mag design AGAD ng kakaiba (yung medyo futuristic). Sa BASIC lang muna, sa experience ko, hindi tatanggapin ng masa kapag futuristic. Kapag medyo natanggap na ng masa yung concept, palagay ko puwede ng ilabas yung mga futuristic design.

Tamang idea yan.

Pero yung dalawa mong modelong tricycle ok din kasi at malakas paniniwala ko matatanggap agad yan kasi sa Fort Bonifacio ata may e-trike na katulad ng enclosed at integrated yung cab sa motor..

Maporma din...

The swing up door hinge will be a problem making it strong enough yet slim.

My experience with "micro-car 1" project back in DLSU showed that it needed to be "beefy". If not, the joint will crack/shatter.

But since your car is smaller, you might be able to get away with it but long term durability is still questionable for this design, especially if the door is thin.

puwede naman po gullwing...

kaya lang po sa experience ko nung gumawa kami ng sports car na may gullwing, lahat po na u-untog sa pinto tuwing bababa.

[Phoenix67]

^^ hehehe... ang sakit pa naman ng roundbar

[Bar Stunner]

Palagi po kami nau-untog dito sa pinto nito

Hindi po ako yung nakatayo..

Buti na lang may disclaimer ka!

Er... aside from the obvious improved "looks" of the tricycle, what advantages of this design over the normal trike? From the illustration, it seems to have just enough space for one passenger with very low headroom

Looks like the concept is more for private use than for commuter service.

This are the times na I wish na I pursue my desire for painting when I was still a teeny bopper.

Medyo, I really like the concept of our master metalfabricator on his design of a tri-wheeler meant as a commuter and also can be configured to be a maintenance utility vehicle and/or used for deliveries.

It has a conventional jeepney look but the lines flow from the stating point of the lines of its L300 winshield where in a step van like d opening on both sides of a front facing three-sitter with the driver at the middle using a standard motorcycle steering bar is used. the back is a standard jeepneyn seating arrangement that can either be three seated on both sides or four, depending on what the job order specifies.

The back sits are retractable to the sides or can be removed to turn the vehicle to cargo handling.

Sides are sort of like drop sides on trucks hooked on to roll bars at the ends and bars on the side to give strength and some protection for passengers. sidings are weather proof one-eight marine plywood and the front of molded flat-sheets with just enough curvature on the edges to have the vehicle have a graceful dating.

Borloloys are optional.

The engine is positioned under the drivers seat and can be of any kind of engine. In the case using electric motors, parallel motorbike batteries spread on the floor topped by another flooring.

The possibility of having floaters underneath and on the side as well as up front and at the back is possible to make the vehicle amphibious.

Howsa that? Think really is doable and according to our former master metal fabricator, we could build it with less than P50 k.

a company in Metro Manila is marketing this...

It seems they are selling locally assembled T-Rex clones.

[ghosthunter]

P529K if I remember correctly. Not sure about the exact configuration.

They say it's a 250cc Kawasaki.

Double posts are kinda embarrassing.

As is the size of that engine... 250cc? That kind of car deserves 500cc at least.

And the big question... are there samples available already, and not just rips on T-Rex photos?
