  1. That is true but from past reading drinking clubbing I sure they would have found a way to denied the claim. I've not heard one story where a person had one actually got paid?
  2. Thats what I'm talking about! I can easily take a girl short time on one of those! 🤣
  3. A new PCX today 160 run you bit over 100,000 baht. Many out there range of 100,000 baht can get an electric scooter type vehicle with rear brakes light, cover, no doors, seating in the back with headlights but I don't think it is really truly legal here although it is being sold I didn't see plates on it at my granddaughter school. Travel speed I noticed you are not going to get even a speed of 40-50 KM/H, but it was going pretty well at 30, the best part it can still undertake car traffic if one picks and choose I noticed while I was sitting in traffic trying to get out of school grounds.
  4. Thanks everyone for the feedback, especially with possible cost. If I need to spend 100,000 to modify then it's gets red line out of my thinking " Best bang out of the baht ," I will continue to look for a shop and actual price. There are lots of electric product out in the market wil keep looking.
  5. Thanks, I was told this year ago when I looked into it.
  6. It has nothing to do with cost, I have a good bike although it is old has 150,000KM, I have more cars and bike now taking this one is a wise decision has nothing to do with money or buying a new one!
  7. Not always, a friend once went to one shop in Pattaya, was told exactly can't it was barely sticking out when I looked at it. It also happen this same shop recommended go across and get new rims. When he told me after coffee drove to another shop no problem and no problems ever since.
  8. Thanks I not there yet but my Thai wife is interested.
  9. Thanks I will do a double take but that was the shop I seen for years but when go cart move into the spot it is gone maybe new location is close by.
  10. Thanks, greatly appreciated, I surely can get one at BPH, from my regular Doctor. Now next step find that shop.
  11. I appreciate the time to respond! I didn't mention anything about Ratanakorn market, not sure where that is? I had a sidecart for five years obtained from my Thai son friend I thought it was great to do handyman stuff in the local area. Looking like a Thai within the five I never got stopped, today it would be like 1% chance on the Darkside one would even if they are making a stink about helmets today. I also obtained a electric two wheel scooter sold to me for 500 baht, but I wouldn't use it for nights, lights are very limited which is my concern. The larger 3 or 4 wheels all seem to be limited for nights and I don't think they are even legal, I don't see any of them with plates. Reason if I can find a shop price is right I rather convert my PCX to a 3 wheel, I would go as far as getting a handicap sign placed on it, put a box in the back. Sometime ago, I saw a guy in immigration pull up in one really nicely done, with lights front and back extra, he had a box, custom holders from his two arm canes. If it goes unregister, I'm not too concern especially with police.
  12. Reading it wrong? Not legal if modified, so why it can be register for first 5 years before it becomes not roadworthy? I would like to do the right thing but Thailand being Thailand and Pattaya being Pattaya? I have a 13 year old PCX 150, it has well maintained and kept up with me a number of times taking all the panels off and repainting the bike myself the KM range over 150,000. As the bike has gotten older so have I, although I have a number of vehicles I've found riding around in a scooter is by far less stressful when dealing with the self created traffic bottlenecks in town. But as the bike gotten older so have I, regardless of my training I'm thinking of modifying the bike for my own safety so that being the priority here in Pattaya, slim and none check points and once owning a sidecart for year which I thought was great if I can find a shop and have it done right I will do regardless if it is legal or not. If I can register it great if not I'm not losing sleep over it. Cost might also be a factor I've also been checking out the larger electric one's selling with longer charging range 3 and 4 wheels, even the ones that look like cars although I'm fit and alert family is starting to question the safety of me coming and going all over Pattaya on the scooter?
  13. Idle minds of Thai leaders is a Devils workshop!🤣
