4evermaat Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I'm considering having a side car (sa-leeng) put on a motorbike. I was considering buying an used bike or a new one. But I wanted it to be an automatic shift. I was thinking initially Click 125cc with wide seat. But any other recommendations would be appreciated.

johng Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I would not use an auto scooter with a sidecar I've seen quite a few that have difficulty just getting over speed bumps ( maybe they are knackered bikes ? ) at least get a geared bike with auto clutch, gears better for heavy loads and can help with braking. 51,500 baht for brand new bike and sidecar.

recom273 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Yeah, We have one - they are great tools but I wouldn’t want to use an automatic bike with it. I think we paid 6500B for ours, ex leopard skin upholstery. I have a feeling they are not road legal, does anyone have any ideas? I made sure we are powered by a road legal scooter should the police stop me while riding, I don’t know if that makes a difference. Usually they just wave it through, along with all the other unlicensed scoots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they can be legal...the bike and sidecar has to be registered in the green book from first registration as a "combo unit" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that very much, first time I heard this. I think Johng is right. Must buy together bike+sidecar new to be legal. I got same information from a seller in Pattaya; I you want to add a sidecar to your own bike, it will not be legal. It's not a problem if you are a Thai, but for us farangs... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Mega Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 22 minutes ago, guzzi850m2 said: Really? I doubt that very much, first time I heard this. JohnG is correct. Needs to fitted before 1st rego and be noted in the green boo to be legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
