The company started in the year 2003 when the founder was still spending his days in college in one of the oldest Aeronautical School in Cebu. He started to found a small organization in school that encourage students to make some research study about designing and building an ultra-light aircraft using local materials. And since it was too difficult for a student to produce funds he dreamed of finding some effective ways to provide it. One was selling trikes, but time was running out, he graduated from college. He created lots of trikes designs that failed; from drawings to miniature models, and prototypes. Spend lots of money from family and his partner, the co-founder of the company. He approached some other investors but mostly rejected him. Years later, one of his brothers from his church community wished him to design a trikes (sidecar) that fits his budget and the design of his model motorcycle. And there it is! It was year 2006 when it came out to the public for the first time. Lots of people wish to have it, even ladies loved and admired it, even happened that some kids beg on their knees to ride on it. Until number of trikes units sold, increased. Today its design and engineering continues to develop to more innovative and competitive quality, buyers would surely go for.
