Modifying a PCX, placing two wheels on the back, tricycle style?

[thailand49]

In Pattaya area,  years ago I noticed a number of shops one down on Theppasit another on Sukhumvit near Pattaya Klang that modify scooters rear axle to two wheels, fender etc.. when I look now they are gone!   Anyone can help as to locations of shop who does such modification.

 

Second,  are they legal and can one still register the scooter normally year?

 

Thanks.

I have a suspicion the reason you don't see them any more is exactly because they are not legal.

You might want to look for a Yamaha Tricity   that is totally legal.

 

I hear but don't know for sure  that you could buy a brand new bike never registered  and have it converted to 3 wheels and then go to the DLT  to have it inspected etc registered in the green book as a 3 wheeler..same as for a sidecar must be a new unregistered bike....have never done that or know anyone done that  but it seems a possibility ?

 

P.S  you don't "register" the bike every year   you just have to pay tax,insurance and after 5 years get a road worthiness  inspection.

The shop on Theppasit moved to

Add stop

Khon Kaen.

The conversion is legal under some circumstances,

Like medical waiver.

maybe other.

Thanks for the replies,  I see many Farangs nicely done conversion looks like if they have brought them new which when I google there are many but I've not seen them sold here in Pattaya. 

I never did but next time I see a person will stop and ask them that seem to be the best way. 

 

I also google saw a advertising sign Ozimoto but there isn't one in Pattaya as far as I know.

 

As for legal or not, I believe the shop in Theppasit moved due to losing the location since the Go Cart opened up at that location.

 

Behind the Big C, on Klang, lives a community of handicap Father Ray foundation that member possess modified scooter. I'm not too concern whether they are legal or not they are a reality here like sidecart which I had one, can't register unless you take the cart off which I did when I owned one.

Not legal, it's been modified 

 

5th year of registration you can't get a roadworthy, unable to tax it anymore
