As for the foreigner being at fault in the case of a mishap: The accident would not have happened if the foreigner had stayed in his home country, and for that reason, he's the one who is to blame.

Nonsense.

  • my error-- i assumed when someone referred to an electric vehicle it was understand that that meant "powered" by electric.  Yes, as i was told, if a vehicle--not a bicycle using the side of the road--

full blown, full size electric cars--tesla style, or its imitators from China, etc, am assuming, they can be registered, etc, but i have not seen one, but hard to say, i assume they are about somewhere??

Fully legal and very common in Bangkok.

Plenty of  electric scooters and motorbikes available now.

 

I also noticed a Chinese electric car stand in Centralworld. Ground Floor, at the back. Near the exit to the shrine on the Plaza.

Name Ora Cat I think. A small electric car.

Something the OP wasn't asking about!

I'm pretty sure that the OP doesn't want a "disability scooter".

Among your many talents you also read minds!

The title of the thread specifically states, "3 or 4 wheel small electric vehicles".

This exactly describes disability vehicles.

Do you also plan to attack the posting by a moderator a few posts above this?

 

Continue your pedantic stalking of my comments and I will continue to call you out for what you are.

This was UK Road legal, so should be good enough for the Soi's!

No, I cannot read minds but, at least, I can read.  The OP made no mention, or suggestion, that he wanted a scooter, disability or any other kind, and the title of the thread does not describe scooters in any way.

L&P Funbike make both 3 wheel and 4 wheel small electrical vehicles but I am not sure if you can register them for street use.

I can see where the "Fun" part applies!

 

The fact that something can't be registered by the road traffic authority doesn't necessarily mean it's illegal on the road. If something is not categorized under the act doesn't mean, it's automatically illegal and subject to fines if found on a roadway.  Bicycles, ATVs, bogeyed up farm vehicles, electric wheelchairs, etc. etc. all exist on Thai roads with immunity. What constitutes illegality?

Thailand society seems to be disciplined by virtue, not by rule of law.????

In some countries the society wants to be told what they can/or must do. In others what they can't do.

The title also does not describe cars either. A four-wheeled electric disability scooter does fit the description.

If you are under the impression that a scooter can only have two wheels you should try to expand your knowledge with research. Knowledge is always preferable to just trying to up your post count by continually and negatively quoting lines from other members comments.  It allows you to have an actual opinion of your very own!

Has the OP not returned because the thread has provided sufficient information or has he just lost interest?

 

Very common occurrence, people starting threads then not coming back.

Or realized, anything that can be registered, cost about 400-500k baht, and was hoping for something much less.

 

Available, but not sure if can register.  Actually seen a couple on the road.

Why would I do that, or even care about it, is there a prize?

 

Incidentally, having a lame go at my post count as though it's something worthy of criticism is a bit 'kin rich coming from someone with your post count!

Anything can be registered even without engine. I used to build trailers.

Reviving this old thread:

 

I'm planning to buy one of these:

 

https://www.lazada.co.th/products/pdp-i4866947009.html

 

It's a pedal-assisted electric tricycle, 25km/hr and 45km range when only using the battery/motor and of course far greater range when pedalling only (for exercise), or part-pedalling.  16,000 baht..., probably street legal because of the pedals...

DECO Family 3 is street legal and can register.   Although, order quick, as I believe it's been discontinued.

 

Better option, just get one of their 1000w or 2000w  scooter and have a side cart mounted.  All DECE products are street legal, and can register.  Also are LFP battery chemistry.  Start less than 30k baht and way better than any other crap offered that you can't register.
