Bajaj trike

You're wrong about it. It is very fast for it's weight. I had it up to 80 kph. And it has a reverse gear. Very handy to go anywhere you desire. Although not as fast as a motorbike it will get you there quick enough and out of the sun and rain.

 

Where in Dumaguete did you find this bike

 

No longer available in Dumaguete. The only thing you can do is google it to find out where you can buy it. The price has gone up even more and also have to pay shipping from Manila. You might try Emcor if you are really interested. Price starts at P155.000 plus shipping. At that price not many people are interested. You only go around once so would you rather have something like this or a bike that if you're caught in traffic the sun will burn that head and the rain keeps coming down. And also safer than a bike.

 

I was lucky to see this posted in the DI classifieds by member Wildcat...we spoke a bit and I was able to purchase this from him. I wanted this as something for me to drive when I'm home but mostly for the wife to use around Tanjay when it makes more sense than using her motorbike; like when it is raining, shopping and taking the kids or a family member somewhere.

From feedback from the wife it is what I expected so I am quite pleased...and I think it looks cool.

I actually saw a couple places displaying them in Cebu...can't say where as I normally have no clue where I'm at when going around Cebu; assume Google would help.

I'm attaching some pictures of the stereo I put in as well as the LED lighting...the pics aren't the best and not everything was "buttoned" up when the pics were taken.

This trike is very limited on space to put anything so I built a plywood box, skinned with sheet metal on the top, back and sides (not the front or bottom...especially the front as that is where I mounted the amp). Some body filler, canned primer and a metallic blue spray paint.

I went with marine/boat components as well as an amp and powered sub that are used on bikes and vehicles with limited space.

The head unit was installed in the plywood box, not a normal configuration but also went with a wired remote I was able to place in the front, both Kenwood as I like their head units and these are normally used in a boat. The head unit does not have a CD player but very easy to connect Bluetooth or through a USB. Also put in a powered antenna that pulls in quite a few stations, won't get used often but it was cheap.

The speakers are component 5 1/4" Polk Audio speakers, marine grade (splash proof). I've been in love with Polk speakers for a very long time. To find a smaller sized amp to push these speakers all I could find was a Kenwood amp, very pleased with the power in such a small amp. The mid and tweeters are a bit closer than I would normally want (plus in the back) but it was pretty simple to dial in the amp to get great sound out of them.

I also put a powered sub behind the front seat; rated for damp environments and normally placed under a seat in a vehicle. I was also only able to find a Kenwood to meet my needs...not disappointed as it "thumps" much more than I expected for such a physically small sub.

There is no fuse block in the trike like you would find in a car or truck (all in-line fuses and relays) so I installed a fuse block, powered off of the battery through a 30 amp relay; all I needed to do was find an ignition source to power the relay coil. The fuse block powers the LED lights through some switches and some of the stereo components that need an ignition source. For the fused battery power for the amp and sub I used in-line fuses.

Took a bit longer to install things as our son wanted to work this project with me but it was a good bit of fun and he learned a lot, not just my labor because he has small hands to push wires.

I did not go overboard with the LED lighting but I think it looks pretty good. Still need to get the new seats in (I want either blue or gray) and am looking at a new top that is gray as well...things the wife will have to make happen as I'm back to work.

The stereo is loud but great sound as well, the wife has gotten quite a few comments on that...as well as the switches I put in for the LED lighting.

The wife was passing through Amlan today and EMCOR was showing the Bajaj trikes, she said they have a fiesta coming up there so folks are setting up displays and such.

She plans to stop by in the next couple days as she said the new ones looked like that were fitted with seat belts and she is curious how they are put in.

Figured I'd pass the info along as we are both pretty pleased with this vehicle...no issues at all so far.

The wife was in Dumaguete today and stopped by EMCOR as she was asking about oil changes and such on the Baja trike. They were surprised to see the trike roll up as we repainted and added a few things, apparently they have only sold one in Dumaguete and it happens to be the one that we bought from a DI member.

The mechanic was out so we will go back next week when I'm home as I want to talk to their mechanic as the fuel gauge is not working correctly. The trike is holding up fine, but I'm not a mechanic so it will be good to get to know the guy in case there happens to be any issues in the future.

From the wife's talk with the staff they do not keep them in stock so if anyone is looking for them they will have to order from EMCOR.
