LIKE A BOSS: E-trikes roll out in Mandaluyong
The first time you see them, you’re probably gonna do a double take, but say hello to the future of commute in the country. Introducing the electric-powered tricycles, or simply, e-trikes.
In support of efforts to make a greener future, the government recently turned over to the city of Mandaluyong, 20 e-trikes. These energy efficient e-trikes use rechargeable lithium ion batteries, much like your laptop and cellphones, and can be docked to four available recharging stations in Mandaluyong. 
Do you want one in your city? Don’t worry, plans are being made to significantly scale up the roll out of e-trikes by next year.
Also: E-jeepneys in Makati and Quezon City.
