In my last discussion some one asked the ride next to the lady and some one answered her. What got me thinking is that she was shocked about it and never seen one, that's rather odd because "side car" isn't something unique as it exist on other countries base on my research. Only have different names and types.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidecar
Here in the Philippines we call it Tricycle, if you check the wiki, it's very close to the 1950 version that has a cabin on it.
Tricycle is supposed to be a bike that has three wheels, but to us here it's the common calling for the sidecar. What the mylotter saw was probably behind and this video here is what's like on the front.

Here we use it as a local transportation through out the entire village, but it has different groups since it has it's own sub-villages inside. It's an alternative to taxi here.
But if you render them services to highways and roads, it will cost you more
There are so many types in different countries, specially in Asia w/ their own versions too.

We don't have them in our country either. I can't imagine riding in one but it is cool and partner your culture.

@Letranknight2015 I think that it would be faster than a car to drive in traffic in large cities. More funny too

Hello @topffer well, it only works much for small roads so little for cars like taxis, unless it's a small one.
