Sir nonsense po ba ang forum?

Sir para magkaroon ng sense. Baka alam mo panu mag compute ng power to weight ratio..

175cc engine to 7 passenger with sidecar weight..

Doon tayo sa may data. Doon tayo sa number na usapan. Para ma proof.

Bakit ito umaadar naman. Umaahon naman.. Ano mga data or # behind it..

Ang dami ng nag comment pero wala pa*ni isang gusto sumagot.. Puro therory lang ba tayo guys.. Hindi ako car expert kaya nag tatanong ako.. Basic lang alam ko pero yung iba kung makapag comment e parang expert talaga. Aral na aral ang sasakyan. Power to weight ratio lang po ng tricycle ang usupan natin..175cc engine, 7 person plus sidecar.. Ano po ang power to weight ratio niya? Then panu e compute..

while i consider your question as silly, may be this can enlighten you. weight-power ratio. ang weight ng tricycle, say 200 kilos plus 7 persons*50/person =550 kilos lahat, as against sa power ng 175cc tricycle. para makita mo ang point ko, compare the maximum output ng 175cc bike without load, then its maximum output with the 550kls load. maybe you got my point already. if the max speed at a certain rpm is, say, 130kph without load, can you expect the same speed with 550 kls load? kaya yong tricyle mong sinasabi, can never hit even 60kph with load, kasi underpower na siya, dahil sa weight ng load. by the way, a review in physics can help you on this. anyway, its your money, walang basagan ng trip dito.

i'm reminded of google's project ara. now if they had the same modular design concept for cars and you can choose your parts, wouldn't we all be happier?

Either you're a troll, or just stupid. Or a stupid troll. In any case, you can never have negative power-to-weight ratios because power (HP) and weight (kg) are always positive. Positive divided by positive is always positive.

Anyway, to humour you since you like numbers:
Kawasaki Barako - 13.5 HP
Weight with 7 passengers - 530 kg
Power to weight ratio: 25 HP/ton

Sure, it moves, but with a top speed of 30 kph and lots and lots of revs and smoke.

GT-R with Vios engine: 47 HP/ton
Much higher than the loaded Barako, if that's your point. But it'll still be a very slow car. An L300 has the same P/W ratio but that's a diesel which is why it can climb easily despite not having power. Of course, its top speed up a steep hill is pathetic.

Ultimately thogh, what you want is possible. So why not go ahead and do it? Make a statement to all your haters!

Oh wait, wala ka naman palang pera. Puro drawing nga lang pala 'to.
