Riding Cheapest Filipino Transport Bike Downhill at Extreme Speed

In this episode on Tekniq, we embark on a journey on a multi seat motorcycle taxi, followed by logistics of wooden logs using karts down a hill. Furthermore, we delve into the production of olive oil soaps, as well as the harvesting and packaging of shiitake mushrooms.

The motorbike's manufacturer don't even know their bike can handle 6 extra people. I really appreciate the "innovation" & effort of the people.✌👌

Lots of respect for these folks who value whats truly important, family and happiness. I work with a lot of people from the Philippines in healthcare and they are some of the nicest and hardworking people in the industry.

I’m from the UK born and bred, but I’ve lived and worked among these people in the Philippines and they are so lovely, they pretty much always smile, I learned a lot when I was there, not just practical things but values too, and how to approach life, particularly problems. They never moan, they just laugh or smile. They are resourceful, and resiliant. I was so impressed I married one! Best thing I ever did. And trust me, I’ve seen some pretty interesting vehicles over there, reminded me of “Whacky Races” a cartoon from back in the day with Dastardly and Mutley, who remembers them? I live back home in Britain now with my amazing wife, but I have a part of me that’s homesick for the Philippines, that’s how much it affected me, watching this made me all nostalgic. Love them! ❤️ I especially love my Filippino family, my in-laws, salt of the earth and very family oriented. If it wasn’t for my health I would live there permanently, no question. When I was there I met other Brits and Americans and other Europeans who had married Filippino’s, many of them lived there. It used to wind me up how many of them would have a superiority complex, always moaning about how they did things and how they always wanted money. If you marry a Filippino you marry into the family, not just the bride. Of course they look to you for help and support, their lives are hard and they have little or no money, so if your thinking about marrying a Filippino, know that you will be expected to help the family out, it’s just the way it is, if your not prepared to do that then move on, it’s that simple. I don’t mind sharing whenever I can, my wife and I have paid for her young brothers education, we pay for medical bills and we send money for food every month. I knew this before I married and I’m ok with it, but if you are not prepared to do that DONT marry a Filippino. Personally, I love my Filippino family and am glad to help out. 😃

This is a video of working folks doing unglamorous work that needs to be done. Hats off to all these good folk.

It's awesome to see someone with the skills and theoretical knowledge to modify their own motorcycle. It takes a lot of understanding and practical experience to get it right, kudos to them!

[swnorcraft]

Mouth agape! I can't believe what I'm watching. No insurance company on the planet would insure such activity. These people operate on nothing but faith. They are very resilient, get by with practically nothing. Have to admire the tenacity! Thanks for sharing.

This brings back memories from when I was stationed at San Fernando, La Union in the 1970s. I had a Yamaha Enduro 360 and I used to take it up in the mountains where people lived in huts on stilts. Some of the old people up there told me the last American they saw was around WWII! People up there were poor but seemed friendly and happy.

I am a person working for a Korean company. There are many Filipino friends working at my company. After watching this video, I learned why these friends are short but strong. Thank you for the great video.

Lives are hard everywhere everyday, these people don’t give up. Balancing the weights is not easy, it’s a piece of art. Blessings ❤

This type of Motorcycle transport is quite common in the mountains of Mindanao, and I have seen Tricycabs transport things like over 20 feet of bunches bamboo and half ton of gravel/ sand.When challenged we improvise, a lot of tasks are still done manually, like cutting lumber and mixing cement.

This is how I travel with my family, everyday, on the Ca.91 freeway. I even use the Fastrack lane. 👍

[TECHNO]

I am so impressed. Bravery by the riders. Nerves of steel.

I would be aprehensive of getting on one of those taxi bike . No handles. No seatbelts. No helmets.

[kaznats]

And this is why I don’t pity my fellow Americans. We already have too much and whine that it isn’t enough but these people have so very little and yet work hard helping each other and live happily without their electric cars or AI.
