Yesitisdakid Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) While I was in Udon I ran across this dealer that was selling these during my walk. These are used all over more so than Moto bikes they can hold 4 or 5 people. The dealer told me they were 150cc chinese-built. I'm thinking there Fairly reliable because you see them all over Udon and the other cities I travel through on my trip. I was surprised at the cost 68000 baht.

Derek Dangleberries Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Well bugger me up the arse with with an over-ripe papaya! I've been talking about the exact same thing about an hour ago with my daughter's mother. I can't get my leg over a motocye and was thinking of buying one of these for when I can no longer walk very far and she can drive me around town in it.....

thegrogmonster Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I thought the manufacturer of these had a website but I can't seem to find it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickrock Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Just what I need when up in the boonies visiting the inlaws Instead of wandering down to the local ma and pa shop for a box of Leo at 6 am to hand out to the million relatives I could get a pallet load of in the back ( wonder if that would void the warranty ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painter Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Rode them many times in Vientiane, Laos. Climbed on one, and the driver was having a real problem making it move... the clutch was obviously slipping badly. We came to a halt, and I wandered round to the front, to notice there was no freeplay in the clutch cable. Quick use of Google translate and the driver produced an unopened tool pack with a very confused look. 5 minutes later the look was one of sheer amazement as this farang had fixed his clutch... 2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy to oblige, for a small stipend during my trip in July 😁😁😁 Those vehicles look great. 68k baht is around £1,700. Could easily pay for itself in a few months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingrones Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Had one of those Chinese rice cookers, Jincheng (Dax) 140ccm based on Honda Monkeybike (90% interchangeable parts mind you)... cheap as crisps, but not very reliable - about £1,400 all incl. in Norway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sangsom Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Just looks like a tuk tuk, what’s different about it? 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) They're called Samloors locally. I am guessing the three wheels would be the reason why. Also guessing a big difference between a tuk tuk and Samloor would be the passenger seating, such as it is - The Samloor seats run parallel to the sides.

tommy dee Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 hate to piss on your cookies as I fancy one, but these are not street legal, as far as I am aware. first they cant be registered, s any accident is uninsured and a tuk tuk can only be driven by..someone who has a tuk tuk, not bike or car licence which, i believe is very expensive to get. even the converted three wheeler scooters here are not technically legal for road use.

maipenrai Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I saw a similar rig on display in a Jakarta mall three years ago for a very reasonable price and thought to myself what a handy outfit it would be to have at home but of course you'd never be allowed to import or operate one here in Canada: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggles Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Some years ago there was a dealer opposite the Dau bus station who had a range of various models similar to forcebwithu photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
