1st October 2026 – (Hong Kong) A widely shared video has captured an electric tricycle travelling along a live traffic lane in Yuen Long, drawing alarm over road safety. The footage shows the vehicle laden with goods in its rear compartment while the driver carries a passenger beside the seat, manoeuvring among other road users in conditions viewers described as perilous.
The clip triggered intense debate on social media, with many users calling the scene outrageous and questioning whether the three‑wheeler was operating without proper licensing. Comments accused the vehicle of unlawful road use and highlighted the absence of a visible registration plate. Others reacted with gallows humour, likening the contraption to a modified tuk‑tuk and expressing surprise that such apparent contraventions were occurring in a busy market district.
