Thanks for the compliment. Judging from your other posts, I am quite sure you also excel in your own field. We all have to be in order to be recession-proof.

yep, it's only here in the philippines you can drive just about anything with wheels,they now even have a bicycle with a sidecart fitted with a lawnmower engine which is very street legal,i just saw one today, i wonder what they will think of next.

hmmm...interesting. use 60% locally-made components and voila!!! the 3-wheeled PhUV.

naalala ko lang to thread na to. saw a golf cart in bf homes, pque. naka-rehistro pero its parked.. though i don't know if the owner uses it outside the village considering its topspeed is around 40kph(?).

Since 3-wheeled diesel pwoered vehicle yan, i guess it can be registered as long as it has headlights, tail lights, signal lights etc...
Classification would fall as "TC"

I checked with the TODAs. If a tricycle has a franchise and is intended to be used as a PUV, it is classified as a TC. Otherwise it is classified as an MC with a note "with sidecar."

Here is my concept for a three-wheeler. It has a motorcycle engine and drivetrain at the back, like the Grinnall and the T-Rex.
