Electric Tri cab in Philippines

 

 

Our second electric Tri cab.

Our second electric vehicle in the Philippines.

A while after buying our first house in the Philippines we bought our first electric Tri cab. I posted about it on May18, 2022.

Our children were attending a private school near our house. There were a lot of hot days and some rainy days when it was nice to pick them up in our Honda Odyssey. I was accustomed to walking to school with them and meeting them after school. The return trip was very hot many days. We found that we saved on fuel, oil and maintenance when going back and forth to school. 

It was nice to cruise around our neighborhood and shop the vendors on the road near us. 

It lasted for a couple of years before we decided to get rid of it for a newer model. It had an old-style foot brake and a pull up emergency handbrake. 

Well, I tried to sell that one to no avail. My wife's cousin was adding a new kitchen and bedroom to our house & he showed some interest in it, so we let him send it to his son in a different province. That freed up some space in our crowded carport (called a garage by Filipinos).

Then we bought a new Lucky Lion brand Electric "tri cab". This one now has brakes operated by hand like a motorcycle. We use it quite often. After a lot of planning, we have finally started a food and drinks delivery business. Now we use it to deliver to customers in and surrounding our neighborhood.

The name of our business is Vegan Tribe Cafe. Check out our menu of food & drinks at our website.
