Tricycles are three-wheeled vehicles that resemble the auto rickshaws of India and tuk-tuks of Thailand. The motorcycle with a sidecar allows more passengers to fit in depending on the size and seating arrangement. Being smaller in size, they are used for short-distance travel and are most commonly seen on the side streets, subdivisions, smaller cities, and towns.

Where to try it: The styles vary per province and region. You can try riding one almost anywhere around the country. One of the most unique types can be found in Pagadian City, Zamboanga del Sur. Their iconic trikes are inclined at 25-40 degrees because of the hilly terrain of the city!
