lamoe 14,556 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Met a guy yesterday in Lapu Lapu who has started a trike business Bought 4 of the WOW electric tricycles and had them tricked out to carry people Rear bench seat, cover, side curtains, ceiling lights, etc. Said 60 K P each (1,200 USD) Rents them out - didn't ask how much - did say he made 30 P dropping fare off near the upholstery shop where we met. He charges at his house at night 24 hr service - has business cards (well paper slips) with phone number - will run errands also Link to post Share on other sites
cookie47 2,029 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 My wife's cousin has got a fleet of 20 in Daanbantayan.Just rents them.. We visited a few weeks ago.Watched the drivers come in for a battery change, not sure of the distance they travel (need to ask), Batteries are deep cycle, I did wonder how much profit margin is when the batteries need changing.. Same seating setup as you describe..Same cost p60,000.There was a few "dead" ones in the yard. I thought of retrieving one for a project but i don't think it would get up the hill at the back of Consolacion.. Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

Have been fitted with a full length canopy and a front and rear facing seat.. I think i saw one with a solar panel on Roof.... Thanks for the info regarding their climbing abilities. I think we're going to Daanbantayan on November 1 so I'm going to follow up.... Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
lamoe 14,556 Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 I saw what you're talking about Did find this - Motor type: Brushless Climbing Ability: 8-12degree 12 deg = >20 Slope Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve seen these sort of tricycles in my area, both gas and electric. I have doubts about buying some for rentals as a business would work out. At least not in the area I live. Lots to consider if it’s a business (LTO, insurance, BIR etc). Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk Thanx. I'll start getting prices for them tomorrow. Seen similar ones around here in Cavite so will start checking them out. From what my wife told me at least for the 2 wheelers no drivers license or helmut is required for them. Don't know about the LTO part. Link to post Share on other sites
