Vehicles & Servicing electric motor cycles

That would be Dumaguete North Rd. (AKA National Highway and AKA Real St.). There are quite a few car and motorcycle dealerships on that road though. Might be worth stopping in and asking at a few of the places. I'm sure there will be a lot of blank stares and shoulder shrugs with a question concerning "electric motorcycles" though....@sandycreekg might get lucky and find someone with that has a clue.

 

I saw some of those tiny things about 2 years ago in Hypermart. I don't think the thing could have hauled me and my groceries up to Valencia. It also only had a 50km range...going up a hill with my 100kg on it would probably take that down to 20km. So barely down the hill and then back up on a charge....it was also just a one seater, basically an electric bicycle. Maybe they have a different model there now.

 

I'm curious with the cost of electricity in the Philippines would having to charge one of these things all the time be cheaper than an old fashioned fossil fuel scooter? My scooter costs me about 500-1k a month in fuel (I can go Dumaguete-Bacolod-Dumaguete on about one tank). I wonder how much one of these things would raise the electricity bill?

Edit: If this goes off topic because of this post I'll start a new thread with it.

 

The problem with that is that you will likely be driving it during the day draining the batteries. Solar panels won't keep up with that. It might charge a bit while you are parked running errands but you will certainly need to plug it in at night at the house.

I highly doubt anything like that will be manufactured anywhere outside of Manila...and probably no retailers outside that area either. You might have to find a dealership/manufacturer/importer in Manila and have it sent down here on a Ferry. (That'll probably cost you around P6-10k....maybe more these days with 2Go Shipping.)

One for sale that has a 100km range, top speed of 35kph for P185k+ (not bad for what it is I suppose....but it's ugly and slow): Six Seater Electric Tricycle For Sale Philippines - Find Brand New Six Seater Electric Tricycle On OLX (But it only goes 35 k/h)

These guys are, supposedly, manufacturing trikes in Manila (very expensive): BEMAC Electric Transportation Philippines Inc. ｜About E-trikes｜E-trikes

Terra Motors has some stuff but I don't think they are actually manufacturing in the PI yet. Y6 Features | Terra Motors Philippines - Terra Motors Philippines

Not really seeing much of anything currently being produced/sold in the Philippines. Maybe the ones you are seeing are put together with a conversion kit of some sort?
