A variant of the tricycle used for carrying cargo is called garong or kolong kolong (also spelled kulong kulong, lit. " cage -like") in Tagalog. It is composed of a motorcycle attached to a sidecar made from welded metal pipes, bars, and/or sheet metal. The sidecar has a flat bed and usually has no seats or roofing.

This is the first post of probably many more in this thread on my planned conversion. A Philippines pedicab consists of a heavy-duty 20" diameter wheel direct drive bicycle with an unsprung sidecar seating up to three passengers plus a bit of luggage. Fully loaded all-up mass is about 250kg.
