 This is exciting news. The Asian Development Bank will give the Philippines $300million to replace the regular tricycles (trikes) into e-trikes. They will start in Metro Manila which has 200,000 tricycles. It is a clean and green way of using transportation since the e-trikes will not use imported fuel. For every 20,000 e-trikes that they use we will be able to save 100,000 liters of fuel. E-trikes use batteries similar to what we use in our cellphones and they can be charged 2,000 times before they have to be replaced.
