Why is The T-Rex TRike not allowed in Singapore?

[edm_viper]

Wonder if this bike is allowed in Singapore? With the current COE for cars, our only hope is to ride one of these....Any company even tried to import these.....

i doubt this will sell in high numbers, and because it wont then i doubt any shop will consider importing this.

 

Clearly it has a steering wheel, and therefore it will be categorized as a car rather than bike or trike for COE purpose. so you're not going to save on COE. also, it looks clearly sports performance oriented, which means it will be expensive.

 

just look at the can-am spyder, which is currently indeed sold in singapore. in the past 5 years, i've only seen 2 of those on the road. it costs as much as a Hayabusa.

 

you might look at it and get excited, but thats just you, how many other people will actually buy it?

Most can-am riders i am sure use their bikes for leisure reasons. i also have seen about 4-5 times. t-rex ?? now. in our strange world , many thing are possible. its just MONEY and the right people to push for it.I wont hold my breath waiting for it. meanwhile waiting for my car coe to end and saving up now so in 4 years time hopefully 2nd hand Can-am can go really down and hopefully repair and service not so ex.

Anyone every thinking of getting one of these cool bikes? I am sure someone out there did some research with LTA

I just got my Can Am recently and I have a friend who brought in his own electric bike from China, took him almost a year for LTA to give approval and also with an undertaking that he cannot sell his bike to anyone else... on hindsight, he told me, not worth the trouble unless you are a dealer and the bikes you bring in can sell in some numbers...
