Chiang Mai has a few electric tuk tubs, which is kind of cool.

There are electric Cambodian-made ones around recently.

I've seen a few. How do you get one of those? Don't see an option on PassAp to select electric.

You could do this ?

My ex and I bought an Ape in Italy and spent four months riding it around. Some of the best times of my life.
I'd love to buy one here and head west, visa restrictions say otherwise though

All jokes and insults aside for a minute - I honestly (and completely objectively of course) reckon that our "traditional" tuk tuks look like they offer a better ride than any of these ^^^ .
I like the high, wide and open style. Good for watching watching watching everything all around.
Good for a man with high claustrophobia levels in his bloodstream too.

The only one of the above i want, is of course the original Benz - but that would be strictly for Sundays.
I hate these little bread boxes on wheels though they make snatching valuables more difficult.

So you have you been a robbery victim before?

Not on a Tuk-tuk, but plenty of stories of people having stuff snatched from a Tuk-tuk.

TADA onion is apparently around $4000. But the batteries appear to be supplied by, and belong to TADA, which makes some sense. They keep the batteries, and handle the charging, storage, etc. At least, from what I’ve gleaned from the Onion drivers. I think the batteries, new, last for most of a normal shift.

The is quite a bit of electronics/ motor noise from those Onion TukTuks! And the ride/cushion is rather hard for anything other than short journeys, I quite like them.

i was surprised a couple of years back, that one of sharkeys tuktuk guys changed his mind to buy a rickshaw with his brother. The reason was simpel: cheaper to buy one then a decent moto+remorque and running cheapper on LPG-gas . . .
