Riding Cheapest Multi-Seater Bike of Philippines

In this episode on Tekniq, We will observe some unique forms of passenger transport using motorcycles and makeshift wooden trolleys and karts with appropriate engines.

[@BillySBC]

I have been riding motorcycles for many years, but my fellow American bikers and motorcyclists will never know what a simple motorcycle means to most of the world outside of the developed countries. Motorcycles in these countries are true workhorse vehicles that are vital and necessary to the lives of the people of those regions. Much respect to these people.

[@renemadera6460]

Motorcycle means livelihood...especially in rural areas

[@anonimtanpanama3012]

How safe it is?

Ride at your own risk but very often most people have no options. No insurance coverage, so for safety use basic common sense...

[@cebuoslob]

As already mentioned, necessity is the mother of all invention. I'm a retired US military FilAm living here in the Philippines and I've seen it all loaded on a motorcycle from another motorcycle, 16 sacks of charcoal to a cow (I'm not joking either) I've seen it all. These morcycles named by the locals as "sky lab" and mostly used in the southern island Mindanao. These are small displacements engines mostly around 150cc or smaller yet they are loaded very heavy. The driven and driver sprockets are changed for gear reduction for more torque to pull them heavy loads up the hills. Unbelievable what human ingenuity and commitment to get things done with what they have available can come up with.

[@SuzukiRiderlv426]

What brands do they use for this purpose?

[@charles-iii6759]

I have nothing but respect for those people. They really make it happen. They find a way to survival. Here in the West we take things for granted and too many of us don't even appreciate it.

[@jamesrecknor6752]

True

[@chanproperties]

We all know these type of transportation are not safe. However, both the driver as well as passengers are fully aware of the Risk they are taking. The motorcycle driver need the money to feed his family. The poor people living in the village needed inexpensive transportation. If we are born in those nations with little education, we would have done exactly the same. He would rather put on a suit and tie and work as a high paying corporate attorney but this is the best he could do for the time being and hopefully if he raise his kids well they do not have to do what the father had to do. I admire his hard work and determination.

The villages seems to not connected by tar roads. Therefore citizens may be using such local made transporting vehicles. Using rail track is no doubt dangerous but govt.has to built roads for people's conveyance. Due to nonavailabilty of sofisticated vehicles, citizens seems to be using such locally invented transporting vehicles.

[@dennis1662]

Indeed this video shows the ingenuity of the people. On a different note and to be politically correct. I think you mean, one of your friends went there to share his 'opinions of Jesus with the people.' it would have been impossible for him to actually 'Share Jesus' with the people, especially since he would not have had the Eucharist.

[@2bisc]

I think the side seats should be lower to the ground. If the driver looses balance and tilting the bike, the person seating on the side seat can prop/drag their leg down to keep the bike from tipping over.

[@wt9653]

Father makes sure everyone stays slim. Kids are used to counter balance the load. 😂 This wouldn't work in the US when everyone is overweight 😂

[@portnuefflyer]

One night coming back from town, I tipped my '84 old beater Goldwing over while stopping at the mail box, when I put my foot out on loose gravel. I had a 50 pound bag of dog food, and a 10 gallon filled propane tank, plus the panniers full of groceries on board. I could not pick that sucker up, but 30 seconds later a local rancher stopped and between the two of us it was upright again. Then the rancher, right before he left, asked me if I ever thought of getting a pickup truck. I told him I had a 1 ton at home, but only use that for big loads, we both laughed.

[@kabartikami]

Wow...a unique and rare transportation mode in the world.

[@philiptan2051]

I have been to the Philippines two times but I didn’t see this ingenious motor cycle with multiple passengers on each side. I didn’t see it also in other Asian countries. It can easily be out of balance when one side is heavier than the other or the driver knocked one side against something. The passengers must get on on both sides at the same time. No obese passenger allowed on this motor cycle, that’s for sure.

[@smallhelmonabigship3524]

I am amazed they can do it. Those people are more than he could lift, but he has to balance them anyway. When I was young, I once strapped a new car battery to the back of my mountain bike and rode it home. It was manageable, but you could feel how top heavy the bike became. Like it could tip over really easy if you weren't careful. I could not imagine trying to balance six people like that who each weigh different.

This is incredible, some people do acrobatics for entertainment and in here people do acrobatics on their daily lives.

Родной, так тебе в Новосибирскую область нужно, а не туда ! Я до 11 лет там всё детство провёл. Кыштовский район,село Кыштовка (это районный центр) Кругом тайга,через всё село течёт река Тара (имя древнеславянской богини), чистейшая, с песчаными берегами. Один берег пологий а второй крутой с песчаными осыпями и весь утыканный гнездами стрижей. Грибов хоть завались, рядом с деревней походил 2 часа ведро набрал. Ягода любая,голубика,костяника,клюква,боярка,малина,земляника..за уши не оттащишь. Потом шишка кедровая,веники берёзовые и банька на берегу, прямо после парной бултых в реку !!! Чернозём везде, картошка как лапти и без червей. Колодец выкопал на 3 метра и вода у тебя в огороде для полива. Черемуха как вишня, никто её не собирает (надоела). Только вот совхоза нет и работы там почти нет. Мечта для фермера и пенсионеров, ну ещё детство там провести. Все продукты привозят из Новосибирска, дороги только просёлочные, то-есть в дождь бездорожье и без внедорожника никуда. Но 2 часа на пазике и станция Чаны (западно-сибирская железная дорога) рядом озеро Чаны известное всем рыбакам и любителям минералки. Так что на Филиппины не обязательно ехать, вся Сибирь нетронутая перед тобой. И тишина и курочки квохчут, всё это есть, а утром будят петухи, всё как положено в деревне !

You would think they could marry two frames together and just use one single engine and build off of that or mabe build a cheap lightweight quad ATV type vehicle maybe ?I don’t know??? there has got to be a way to manufacture a rough and tumble all terrain cheap fuel efficient vehicle for these folks that is much more safe and stable.
