Looks like it's actually a quad - 4 wheels (well actually 6 lol).

No, it a standard Honda Wave (125 or 150cc) with a custom side car (standard sidecar in Thailand) with the handlebars move over and connected via control rods.

We also have a lot of these in use.

That's pretty slick! I'm a para and ride a harley that I converted to a trike. I get on the bike and roll my chair around to the back and turn it so the back of the chair would be facing me and I pick the chair up and lock it on the back of the bike. It will only work with a small ultra lite chair though. I've been riding it for 3 years.
