That can't be real, right? That rear tire would have to have a lot of pressure in it to not be riding on the rim with 7 adults. Would there be some sort of loading platform to keep it upright as people get on and off? With that much of the load over and behind the rear wheel it seems like the slightest twist of the throttle would send the front wheel skyward.In the west we forget how privileged we are. Not everyone has a crew cab duelie. View attachment 1288006cab duelie.
But the real funny thing is that the crew cab duelies usually have 1 or 2 people at most in them. They are entertaining to watch trying to maneuver in a parking lot though.

That one might not be, but this one is. Typically made from rebar welded to a motorcycle to make a one wheel drive tricycle. There doesn’t seem to be a maximum load, and each time I visit the Philippines, I see a new maximumThat can't be real, right?

I'm gonna let you figure this out on your own. Volkswagen is spelled with an E and the Beetle car has three of them.Pete Best or the Volkswagon Beatle

Does that not qualify as a side car now?a motorcycle to make a one wheel drive tricycle.
One fellow I knew years ago had a sign on his dually tailgate to the effect of:They are entertaining to watch trying to maneuver in a parking lot though.
Sorry, I can't help but take up two spots.
As I remember it, he was in pretty good shape having to do all that extra walking from the far end of the parking lot.
Yes it does, but the Filipinos call them tricyclesDoes that not qualify as a side car now?
Well there's quite a few photos, and I've just watched a video on YouTube "SUPERB, this motorcycle can carry 6 passengers" (@explorer5952).That can't be real, right?

I always considered the ultimate working range required for air cooling was going down hill on a frosty morning, to going up hill, two up on a hot day, but apparently carrying 7 people on a muddy trail (with the cooling fins caked in mud) is within the opperating range. Many years ago I had an Enfield 50cc, the rear suspension was VERY firm, quite possibly for the Indian home market.
This picture shows what looks like a heck of a skid plate.the slightest twist of the throttle would send the front wheel skyward.
