What: motorcycles with a sidecar (passenger-cabin) on a third wheel attached
Where: everywhere, especially on smaller roads for short distances, often on roads where jeepneys or busses are not supposed to operate
The engines of the tricycles range from 50cc up to about 125cc
Short distance and feeder trips could not be more exciting than via quick modest transports that ply even the toughest and roughest roads in the Philippines. The tricycle is a motorcycle with a sidecar, and the pedicab is a bicycle with a sidecar. These vehicles, familiar sights traversing residential routes and arterial roads, have offered much relief to commuters – especially in areas in the provinces where there are insufficient bus and jeepney services. Tricycles and pedicabs go where the brave yet heavy transports dare not go, getting people around despite heavy floods, road construction, and extreme traffic conditions. http://www.tourism.gov.ph/wow/wild_over_wheels.asp
