Trike rental?

[Meadowind]

Hi all..1st time posting tho I've been lurking on these forums for many months..great bunch of guys and good info too...my question:Can you rent trikes in LOS? and if so do you need a helmet to ride them?..I've heard that in England and Oz they are considered as cars and no helmet is required.BTW I mean a Rewaco type cool looking trike not a rental tuk tuk :-) Thanks in advance.

Hi again All..just realized I probably should have introduced myself 1st in Newbies section..sorry about that jsut thought a question about trikes (which I love) would be better than a bunch of stuff about me..still I should've went to newbies 1st..a little about me: I'm 43 and live in Montreal,Quebec,Canada and I found this forum while searching the P.I. as my brother has been there and kept telling me I would love it there.I'm not that big on geography and didn't realize LOS had palm trees,white sand beaches and turquoise waters!..My bro laughed at me when I told him I "Discovered" Thailand..lol..Now for several months I've been dreaming of the place(especially Phuket). I hope I can make it down there sometime but I fear it won't be for a while. I know I would love and would like to visit MTB.I'm sure many of you have heard this many times but I feel like I already know many of you and that must be a little weird for you.It feels weird to me as I type it..lol.Don't worry I'm not a stalker and would only stalk BG's if I was ;-)..I think that's enough out of me for now except for a Hearty Greetings and I hope you all the best.

Hello there Meadowind

In all my trips to phuket i have never seen a single trike on the roads, loads of sportsbike and cruisers for rent so perhaps you may have to make do with one of those?

when are you arriving?

Meadowind, I travelled a few miles on a hog last trip & I gotta say that I can't recall seeing a trike either, like Simon stated.

I will gladly point you in the right direction & you can give these guys a go...........If there is a trike hire place, Sumon the boss will know all about it.

I recommend these guys to all, if you're ever needing a Harley or similar to rent.

Their website is :: ¹ÔµÂÊÒà äôì ä·ÂᏴì áÁ¡¡Ò«Õ¹ - Ride Thailand Magazine

By the way..........Helmets are required on trikes here in NSW....would imagine same for rest of Oz too.

All the best with your travels.

Thank You Simon and Easyrider...that's too bad I really liked the idea of at least a 2 seater but preferably 3 seater (more girls )...I'm still only in the dreaming of getting there stage right now so no idea when but definitely have to.My brother wants to go to P.I. next July so hopefully can do both. Thnx again

You dont need a trike to take 2 girls back, i think the most i have seen on a honda wave was 2 adults a child and a dog, but i think the record has been 5 on a single bike.

Theres a few privately owned trikes (one superb harley conversion I know of but worth as much as a merc) but none for rent that I know..

You see them out during bike week or special runs..
