An Appeal to All Motorcycle Riders

[jaypee10]

minsan may grupo grupo sila.minsan papasok ako ng highway tapos may biglang haharang sayo para hindi ka maka pasok dahil parating ang iba nilang kasamahan

tama ba un..hindi naman VIP or presidente kino convoyan nila.tapos binusinahan ko.dahil wala pa ung mga rider eh ayaw na nilang magpapasok sa HW .sila pa itong galit na tipong kukuyugin ka ..buti nalang at sa tapat sila mismo ng bahay namin..he he he..

pero may mga club na ang babait talaga sa kalsada.at ikaw pa ung tipong mahihiya sakanila .dahil ang pipino nilang mag maneho sa kalsada hindi tulad ng ibang club na singhot katol club..

I'm a motorcycle rider and a driver of a cage as well. I prefer riding the motorcycle especially if I'm just alone. Been riding motorized two wheels since I got my driving license.

First, let me apologize for the unruly and undisciplined riders. Kahit ako naiinis sa kanila sa kalsada. I always try to follow road rules and be courteous to other road users. Minsan napapailing na lang ako pag nakikita ko mga kamote riders. Singit dito singit doon. Meron parang nasa race track kala mo maubusan ng kalsada.meron Meron todo counterflow. Tapos mga ilaw di standard. Meron ba naman break light puti tapos headlight asul. Pinaka ayoko yung bomba ng bomba ng selinyador. Especially small bikes who want to feel na mga supervise riders sila. Ang iingay mga ksp. Nakakabulabog lalo na pag nasa bahay ka.

I can't blame you for hating them. Minsan yung mga naaaksidente na pinapakita sa TV, they were asking for it. Minsan kasalanan nila talaga. That's Darwin's survival of the fittest.

Pero sana rin lang po we don't generalize that all motorcycle riders are barumbado sa daan. Admittedly mas marami ang sira ulo. Pero meron pa rin po mangilan ngilan na responsible motorcycle riders.

I always try to learn and share the road. Especially with pedestrians and bike riders.

What I fear is because of the entry of China motorcycles, sobrang dali na kumuha ng motor. Kahit mga di marunong sa kalsada, pwede mag ka motor for a small amount of money. Yung iba kuha ng kuha ng hulugan tapos di na babayaran. I fear in 5 years time para na tayong Vietnam or Indonesia.

One more thing, after the proliferation of irresponsible motorcycle riders, meron pang Isang dapat bantayan ; mga gumagamit ng electric motorcycle. No need ng lisensya pero poses as a hazard to other road users. Yung iba nasa fast lane pa sa Hiway.

Those are not motorcycle sir. Those are electric bicycle.
Isa yan sa mga maling nasasa-isip ng karamihan ng ating mga kababayan. Itinuturing nilang motor vehicle, which is not.

I believe that's what he was referring to in his last paragraph.

Sa aking paningin mas beneficial eto sa mga PWD, yung sa mga di makalakad, yung pilay dalwa paa. Simply in the form galing sa electric chair, use the electric motor in the frame of a bicycle wheel. Pero dito sa amin, yung mga handicap ( o pilay na mga kilala ko ) nakakapag maneho pa ng tricycle, at may linsenya. Customize ng hand shifter yung mga pedal shifter nila sa brakes at tranmission.

it has to be a gas-powered engine with minimum displacement of xxx cc, to legally be a "motor vehicle" and subject to licensing, etc.
but it does not detract from the observation that some of their riders are "irresponsible", just like the bicycle and the tricycle (di-motor o di-beachwalk) we see along national roads, in the fast lane pa man din!
i think it is time for government to rein these in by updating road laws and proper enforcement.

Agree with you. Enforcement lang naman ang kailangan. Motorized yan (whether electric or fuel power) , may drivers license pa rin dapat sa ganyan. Ewan ko ba, at nabago yun nakasaad sa restriction code 1 sa mga lisensya natin sa LTO. Dati nabasa ko pa sa unang lisensya ko noon sa code 1, sa pagkaunawa ko bukod sa motorcycle ay may nakasulat rin na any motorized vehicle.

Sir please read the whole post.

I didn't refer the photo as regular fuel fed motorcycles but as electric motorcycles. If you want to be specific and technical about it, the one posted above can not be an electric bicycle. To be classified as an electric bicycle, properly know as pedelec, it should have working pedals.

Anyway back to topic. I was just warning everyone that aside from irresponsible motorcycle riders, we should be wary also of the electric motorcycles becoming popular. I've seen these used even by those below 18 who doesn't know any road rules lest obtain a proper license.

Technically they are not under the LTO. And no licensing nor registration is required. These are no different than those "kuliglig" plying manila roads especially in divisoria / binondo area with a Frankenstein motor. Pag nasabitan ka, kakamutan ka lang ng ulo. Worse, tatakbuhan ka at wala kang habol. Wala namang plaka ang mga ito.

I did read the whole post.

Those are Romai brand electric bicycles. Driven by an electric motor from a charge battery, when battery charge wears off, they have to pedal it to regain charge of the battery. The photo you shared is one of their Latest Model, it is already a trike as it look to me, because it has 3 wheel.

Like you, I am also concerned about it. Mostly I see who purchase these, truly doesn't know about road and traffic rules. Kadalasan makita ko pa nga dito sa amin na gumagamit nyan bukod sa mga under 18 age, ang karamihan pa ay Senior Citizen. At observe ko pa, hindi pa makatabi sa gilid ng kalsada kapag nananakbo, parang mga jeep, na kapag nanakbo at maghinto sa pagsakay ng pasahero nasa gitna ng lane, hindi gumigilid.

Totoo, parang mga kuliglig lang yan, na na-innovate lang, hindi fuel powered. Hindi narerehistro, walang lisensya kailangan. Kaya wala ka ngang habol sa kanila sa LTO kapag nasabitan ka nyan o nabangga ka nila.

Problema nga lang natin sa ngayon, Road hazard nga lang yan mga ganyan sa kalsada, na hindi naman hinuhuli o sisinisita ng mga enforcer na bawal yan sa mga roads. Alam naman natin na nasa batas na bawal sa mga roads ang mga hazardous vehicle. Kaya nga may mga sign pa tayo nakikita na bawal ang tricycle o pedicab mag ply along sa road. Kaya dapat i-include din yan mga ganyan.

at kapag na-bangga, sino sisitahin? e, 'di yung may lisensiya!
at sino may kasalanan? e 'di yung batang nagmamaneho ng di-bateryang 'sikleta sa fast lane... tulad ng nasa picture sa itaas.. batang teen-ager pa yata yung drayber na ina-angkasan ni senior citizen..
