In the [[Philippines]], a similar mode of [[transportation in the Philippines|public transport]] is the "[[Motorized tricycle (Philippines)|tricycle]]" ([[Filipino language|Filipino]]: ''traysikel''; [[Cebuano language|Cebuano]]: ''traysikol'').<ref name="PItrykes">{{cite web |url=http://www.philippines.hvu.nl/transport3.htm | title=Motorcycles and tricycles | access-date=2009-03-14 | publisher=Utrecht Faculty of Education | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090307210244/http://www.philippines.hvu.nl/transport3.htm | archive-date=7 March 2009 | url-status=dead  }}</ref> Unlike auto rickshaws, however, it has a [[sidecar|motorcycle with a sidecar]] configuration and a different origin. The exact date of its appearance in the Philippines is unknown, but it started appearing after World War 2, roughly at the same time as the appearance of the [[jeepney]]. It is most likely derived from the [[Rikuo Motorcycle|Rikuo]] [[Type 97 motorcycle|Type 97]] military motorcycle used by the [[Imperial Japanese Army]] in the Philippines starting at 1941. The motorcycle was essentially a licensed copy of a [[Harley-Davidson]] with a sidecar.<ref name="brits">{{cite web |title=The History of the Philippines Tricycle |url=https://tuktukph.top/the-history-of-the-philippines-tricycle/ |website=Tuk Tuk 3 Wheelers |date=22 November 2018 |access-date=25 March 2020}}</ref> However, there is also another hypothesis which places the origin of the tricycle to the similarly built "[[trisikad]]", a human-powered [[cycle rickshaw]] built in the same configuration as the tricycle. However, the provenance of the trisikad is also unknown. Prior to the tricycles and trisikad, the most common means of mass public transport in the Philippines is a carriage pulled by horses or [[carabao]]s known as the [[kalesa]] (''calesa'' or ''carromata'' in [[Philippine Spanish]]).<ref name="ffe">{{cite web |date=29 December 2016|title=Filipino Icon: Tricycle and Pedicab |url=http://ffemagazine.com/filipino-icon-tricycle-pedicab/ |website=FFE Magazine |access-date=25 March 2020}}</ref> The [[pulled rickshaw]] never gained acceptance in the Philippines. Americans tried to introduce it in the early 20th century, but it was strongly opposed by local Filipinos who viewed it as an undignified mode of transport that turned humans into "beasts".<ref name="Pante">{{cite journal |last1=Pante |first1=Michael D. |title=Rickshaws and Filipinos: Transnational Meanings of Technology and Labor in American-Occupied Manila |journal=International Review of Social History |date=14 August 2014 |volume=59 |issue=S22 |pages=133–159 |doi=10.1017/S0020859014000315 |doi-access=free }}</ref>

The design and configuration of [[tricycles]] vary widely from place to place, but tends towards rough standardization within each municipality. The usual design is a passenger or cargo [[sidecar]] fitted to a motorbike, usually on the right of the motorbike. It is rare to find one with a left sidecar. A larger variant of the tricycle with the motorcycle in the center enclosed by a passenger cab with two side benches is known as a "motorela". It is found on the islands of [[Mindanao]], [[Camiguin]], and [[Bohol]].<ref name="sg">{{cite web |title=Tricycle, Motorela & Habal-Habal |url=https://www.silent-gardens.com/tricycle.php |website=Silent Gardens |access-date=25 March 2020}}</ref> Another notable variant is the tricycles of the [[Batanes Islands]] which have cabs made from wood and roofed with thatched [[cogon grass]].<ref name="Corsino">{{cite web |last1=Corsino |first1=Nikka |title=A day on Sabtang Island in Batanes |url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/lifestyle/travel/332326/a-day-on-sabtang-island-in-batanes/story/ |website=GMA News Online |access-date=25 March 2020|date=24 October 2013}}</ref> In [[Pagadian City]], tricycles are also uniquely built with the passenger cab slanting upwards, due to the city's streets that run along steep hills.<ref name="pagadian">{{cite news |title=WATCH: What makes Pagadian tricycles unique |url=https://www.rappler.com/move-ph/159226-inclined-tricycles-pagadian-city |access-date=25 March 2020 |work=Rappler |date=23 January 2017}}</ref>

Tricycles can carry three passengers or more in the sidecar, one or two [[pillion]] passengers behind the driver, and even a few on the roof of the sidecar. Tricycles are one of the main contributors to air pollution in the Philippines,<ref name=cleanair>{{cite web|url=http://cleanairasia.org/node8236/|title=Tricycles in the Philippines|publisher=cleanairasia.org|access-date=7 January 2019|archive-date=10 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180610083809/http://cleanairasia.org/node8236/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=cnnphil>{{cite news|url=http://cnnphilippines.com/news/2015/03/16/tricycles-as-iconic-as-jeepneys.html|title=Tricycles: As iconic as jeepneys and just as problematic|last=Taruc|first=Paolo|date=25 March 2015|publisher=[[CNN Philippines]]|access-date=7 January 2019|archive-date=7 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190107232940/http://cnnphilippines.com/news/2015/03/16/tricycles-as-iconic-as-jeepneys.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> which account for 45% of all [[volatile organic compound]] emissions<ref name=gulfnews>{{cite news |url=https://gulfnews.com/world/asia/philippines/philippines-tricycles-and-motorcycles-responsible-for-45-per-cent-of-harmful-emissions-1.1624254|title=Philippines: Tricycles and motorcycles responsible for 45 per cent of harmful emissions|last=Felongco|first=Gilbert P.|date=22 November 2015|publisher=[[Gulf News]]|access-date=7 January 2019}}</ref> since majority of them employ two-stroke engines.

Tuk-Tuks have now been accepted as Three-Wheeled Vehicles by the [[Land Transportation Office (Philippines)]] as distinct from tricycles and are now seen in Philippine streets. Electric versions are now seen especially in the city of Manila where they are called e-trikes.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bemac-philippines.com/en/updates/news-from-the-web/66-e-r-a-p-manila-electric-tricycle-project-second-batch-of-beneficiaries-ready|title=E.R.A.P.
