[livinglife]

do they have motor bike taxi there like in thailand and cambodia or just cars

Motoconchos are generally just cheap 100-225 cc Chinese motorcycles. There are no tuk-tuks, auto rickshaws or tricycle motos like these things.

they have them in Samana.

Actually they are for sale here, just no one buys them. I went with a friend as he bought a T-Rex moto and the dealer had those babies in your link. 222,000 pesos. Five thousand bucks, not bad really, but if I had the money I would hold out for an Elio that will be available in the USA in a year or two! Three wheelers like that were quite popular at the border area between Guatemala and Mexico at one point in time.

A T Rex is $5k? wow.. there all over Higuey. maybe one in twenty bikes.

saw 6 one time on a little 110 cc in thailand,the whole family mom dad and 4 kids ,it was wild but most of the time only 3,bummer I miis out in form with Indian man in love,all so sounds like Thailand lol,i think with same results

 

[Xavier_Onassis]

I wonder if they could haul even more people in one of those trikes than on the usual 125 cc Chinese bikes. I have seen four people and one baby, but I am sure that is not the record.

 

[PeterInBrat]

I saw six in a photo. Looked like a basketball team and one kid was on someone's shoulders.

 

[Xavier_Onassis]

The T Rex looks like a lot more fun, with two wheels in front and one in the rear, as opposed to the opposite arrangement of a tuk-tuk. But a T Rex does not strike me as the sort of thing a motoconcho would use.

I am afraid I annoyed a motoconcho in Barahona by refusing to ride his moto just because I could see the cords peeking through his tire.
They don't go all that fast, but they do go fast enough to cause serious problems, like, death, for example. I have an imagination that gives me the vision of the bike I am on blowing a tire and out of control as to slams into another moto laden with cargo.

Mao actually does have Tuk Tuks. I was shocked when I saw them as was my brother who was visiting from Thailand at the time we went to Mao.

 

[livinglife]

where is down here

 

[livinglife]

is there anyone who actuality lives in Susua or very close,there is a lot of advice from some on this form from people who do not even live there and I do want to make my starting point there,I have found many things I like about it so far

 

[fifilein]

I am currently looking for a 1BR. Decently sized, properly furnished, 24 electricity, planta or inverter, internet and in the proximity of Sosua (so not Perla Marina or other apartments in the middle of nowhere)

I am calculating somewhat around 550-650 (plus electricity on top). I have a real estate agent involved so I am sure I you search directly you can reduce that even more. Don't have to big of a choice currently, there will be more available in April, when all the snowbirds are gone.

 

[livinglife]

can i get some input on the best and safest way to get from the airport to Sosua,i think i will be coming from Atlanta or Miami.do not think they have a flight from Cincinnati and what is the closest airport to Susua

 

[fifilein]

POP airport and then a cab, the current fare was posted in the forum some days ago

i am also pretty sure they do not have a direct flight from atlanta, not aware that delta is flying this route, they fly to atl-sti.

 

[dv8]

closest airport to sosua is called gregorio luperon airport and the code is POP. official rate to sosua is 25 dollars.

I saw 6 a number of years back over near La Romana. I also saw 6 in Thailand but Thai people generally smaller, more impressive with Dominicans. They have tuk tuks in Mao.
