An Appeal to All Motorcycle Riders

[kagalingan]

Mura motorsiklo.

Presyong cellphone lang ah.

This happened last week along Shaw Blvd. Pansin nyo yung guard sa right side signaling the fast approaching motorcycle to slow down...



But the rider was having none of it... ayan tuloy, semplang.

^ganyan talaga mga iyan, kita na nga nag-stop ang mga auto sa unahan nila (kadalasan sa mga bus/jeepney stops at intersections), hindi man lang naisip na baka meron tatawid.
swerte pa ng mokong at hindi sya sumalpok dun sa van.

Puwedeng gawing screen saver...

Iyan ang mahirap sa kanila... Kapag lahat ng mga sasakyan,- nagpe-preno,- sila umaarangkada lalo para lumusot sa tagliran...

Mabuti na lang at hindi grabe ang pagkaka-semplang niya.,.. Mabuti na rin at hindi ka sinabitan sa tagliran dahil panic na siya.....

"Mauna na kayong lahat...."

Those are not motorcycle sir. Those are electric bicycle.
Isa yan sa mga maling nasasa-isip ng karamihan ng ating mga kababayan. Itinuturing nilang motor vehicle, which is not.

it has to be a gas-powered engine with minimum displacement of xxx cc, to legally be a "motor vehicle" and subject to licensing, etc.
but it does not detract from the observation that some of their riders are "irresponsible", just like the bicycle and the tricycle (di-motor o di-beachwalk) we see along national roads, in the fast lane pa man din!
i think it is time for government to rein these in by updating road laws and proper enforcement.

Agree with you. Enforcement lang naman ang kailangan. Motorized yan (whether electric or fuel power) , may drivers license pa rin dapat sa ganyan. Ewan ko ba, at nabago yun nakasaad sa restriction code 1 sa mga lisensya natin sa LTO. Dati nabasa ko pa sa unang lisensya ko noon sa code 1, sa pagkaunawa ko bukod sa motorcycle ay may nakasulat rin na any motorized vehicle.

Sir please read the whole post.

I didn't refer the photo as regular fuel fed motorcycles but as electric motorcycles. If you want to be specific and technical about it, the one posted above can not be an electric bicycle. To be classified as an electric bicycle, properly know as pedelec, it should have working pedals.

Anyway back to topic. I was just warning everyone that aside from irresponsible motorcycle riders, we should be wary also of the electric motorcycles becoming popular. I've seen these used even by those below 18 who doesn't know any road rules lest obtain a proper license.

Technically they are not under the LTO. And no licensing nor registration is required. These are no different than those "kuliglig" plying manila roads especially in divisoria / binondo area with a Frankenstein motor. Pag nasabitan ka, kakamutan ka lang ng ulo. Worse, tatakbuhan ka at wala kang habol. Wala namang plaka ang mga ito.

I believe that's what he was referring to in his last paragraph.

Sa aking paningin mas beneficial eto sa mga PWD, yung sa mga di makalakad, yung pilay dalwa paa. Simply in the form galing sa electric chair, use the electric motor in the frame of a bicycle wheel. Pero dito sa amin, yung mga handicap ( o pilay na mga kilala ko ) nakakapag maneho pa ng tricycle, at may linsenya. Customize ng hand shifter yung mga pedal shifter nila sa brakes at tranmission.
