Motorcycle ( Samlaw ) One Ton Capacity


ThaiLife

Recommended Posts

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, some time ago I thought about buying a Skylab ( Motor Samlaw ) the same type as the shot below

Just as a bit of fun and a run about :D

Then I found out that they cannot be legally registered in Thailand ( Government road Tax ) and are manufactured in Thailand for Export use only , I know you some times see them about being driven by Thais, but a Farang using one would no doubt be like waving a red flag to the boys in Brown . So I gave up the idea as being just too impractical .

To day I was passing through Korat and saw these '' Skylab '' type vehicles on display , so I asked the sales guy if they could be registered for use on Thai roads , He said yes . So I asked him to show me the Government road tax and registration book , which he did. I asked him why if the skylab cannot be registered for use in Thailand , how come this model can, his answer was its built with Tuck Tuck specifications . The vehicle

is powered by a 200 cc engine with reverse , and can be built to any carrying specification with a One Ton Capacity . The vehicles are built in Korat ,The cost seems to be in the region of 80,000 - 90,000 Baht depending on the build spec , and the annual road Tax is around 300 Baht,Oh and they have a remote electric engine start key fob :D

I have no connections what so ever with this company , but just thought it may be useful to some one with a farming / business use.
