Abstract
A Tuk-tuk, also known as a motorized tricycle, is a three-wheeled vehicle with wheels symmetrically arranged in the longitudinal driving direction. Compared to four-wheeled vehicles, tuk-tuks have less stability. Classical Tuk-tuks typically have a metal occupant compartment without doors, resulting in direct contact between occupants and the metal structure. In tropical countries with heavy rainfall, flooded roads are common. This study proposes technical requirements specific to electric Tuk-tuks, which are gaining popularity in Thailand. Experimental tests focused on braking performance, rollover stability, and electric safety prevention. The tests addressed four aspects: brake performance, parking capability, rollover stability, and electric isolation resistance during floods. These tests help manufacturers meet Thai safety standards. Results emphasize the importance of adhering to Tuk-tuk standards for vehicle performance and electric safety.
