By now, we’re probably already tired of hearing all about the Motorcycle Helmet Act of 2009, also known as the Republic Act (R.A.) 10054. This national law enforces the mandatory wearing of helmets for motorcycle riders. However, we still see quite a number of riders on the road sans helmets, more so in the provincial areas. Why is this so? Well, it’s complicated. Who will enforce? Section 3 of the R.A. 10054 states: “All motorcycle riders, including drivers and back riders, shall at all times w

Always the rider, never the ride Choose the right bike to suit your specific riding lifestyle. If you are a multi-tasker who is always on the go, get a scooter.

The Philippine motorcycle industry is a late-bloomer of sorts compared to neighboring markets in the Southeast Asian region. Yet Filipino riders, it seems, are making up for lost time and have been making waves to get recognition on the world stage. I suppose one of the best ways to get noticed is to set a Guinness World Record and we have made quite a few, even breaking a couple of previous records in recent years.

So tapos na ang Chinese New Year, ano naman next? Siyempre, balentyms (Valentines day)! Kung mayroon kang pina-planong date para sa inyo ng iyong special someone, suggestion ko, scooter ang ipang-sundo mo para mas romantic. In fact, madalas nga ma-feature sa mga romatic chick-flicks ang mga scooters dahil diyan. Isa pa, parang mas bagay i-ride pang dalawahan ang mga scooters dahil mas komportable ang upo ng parehong rider at pillion. Na-intriga tuloy ako kung tama ang iniisip ko kaya nagtanong a

After its initial introduction on September 2023, the Honda Motocompacto finally made its debut at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo.

While both were designed to fit in most trunk spaces, the Motocompo was marketed as a spare vehicle, while the Motocompacto is presented as a m

We Filipinos, at least based on my observation, don’t like to walk. Hence, the propagation of those ubiquitous tricycles that ferry passengers on their last mile (or first mile) journey. Whether you are going to the bus stop or just on your way to the neighborhood market, the so-called King of TODA (Tricycle Operators and Drivers Association) will literally pick you up from your doorstep so you can travel the short distance with relative ease. However, there is another three-wheeler in the trans
