Hi,

These are legal on South African roads (under certain conditions). I have recently imported some from Thailand. Happy to sell some of them if you are looking for some. Give me a call:

I haven’t found any resources for making your own Thai-style sidecar for bikes or scooters (and I’ve been looking), but I’m planning on making one of my own, as soon as I can secure a Honda 50 to mount it on.

Yes, you are right, the side-cars are brill in ailand. Question; do you know who to get a drawing, of how to make a sidecar for a small motorbike?
Thanks

Hello Meyrick,
I have started these tuk tuk in Ethiopia from India and they are a big hit. If your laws allows this, it must have a huge market but need to be sure they can be run on the road in your country.
contact me on aliafrica2006@yahoo.com if you wish to discuss more.
cheers

I would have no idea. The first question I would ask is if it’s even legal to operate them on South African roads. If it’s the older, authentic style of Tuk Tuk, you could probably just have them made locally – there aren’t that many in Thailand, and they’re mostly in operation.

Super pics, I tried to searched thai life style but lots of website provide only beautiful areas/pics, so it’s difficult to catch their life style. but here i saw some nice pics which describe their life style.

thanks.
