    How common is it if even allowed, for a foreigner to own a trike (motorbike with side car). I am interested in finding out from anyone that might have experience in owning one and how safe it would be for me to have one to drive my wife and daughter around. Is it practical, allowed, safe? What would the cost be to get a new one? Buying the bike new and having a sidecar build or bought new and installed.

    I have a pedicab I had made for our family. The bike was purchased separately then had a pedicab made and attached to the bike. The bike is a Honda TMX 125. The pedicab shop is on south Highway across the Dumaguete border in Bacong. They make custom sidecars as well.

    The TMX and trike construction should cost around 75K (right Pat)? Driving it is easy and allowed. Remember to have a decal made (or painted) the words "for family use only" on the front or and rear of the side car. This keeps the licensed trike owners from thinking you are a gypsy cab out there scabbing fares.

    Right on Gerry. I think the new bike was 48k and the pedicab build was 27k.

    Yea that sounds good. I'll keep you posted on our arrival date and time and maybe we can get together for lunch or something and you can point me in the right direction and tips of the do's and don'ts on being new in Dumaguete. If you don't mind and have the time.

    I doubt trikes are much safer than a motorcycle other than having more wheels and a cage to rattle around in rather than flying over the handlebars. I wouldn't want to get in a wreck in either one. Maybe if you had seatbelts, airbags, ejection seat, 30 mm rotary cannon, bayonet and connections to the mayor then maybe it would be safe.
