In Hanoi and Cambodia they are called cyclo. You sit at the front of the rider. During the day when there is lots of traffic they are fine but after hours when the traffic thins out and speeds up then they are quite dangerous. The only thin that keeps the roads relatively safe is that usually there is too much traffic for people to go too fast.

In Thailand, Laos & Cambodia its called 'Tuk-tuk'. Though the similarity is obvious, there are some differences.
In India & Indonesia its called 'Bajaj' taken the name of the manufacturer (Bajaj Auto, India) of the auto rickshaws.
All these are the above are auto rickshaws.
In Malaysia, there are still some cycle rickshaws (tricycle) operators can be found in Penang, Malacca etc. Its called 'beca' (pronounced - bay cha).
Indonesia = becak
Cambodia & Vietnam = 'cyclo' (pronounced see-clo).
Myanmar = saika (literally means side car)
Philippines = tricycle/traysikel, traysikad, pedicab, or padyak
Thailand = samlor

Not really sure which type of transportation you are talking about (because different country will have a different name for it). But in most of the case, I think you are referring to the cyclo in Vietnam and the Tuk-tuk in Thailand. It is also worth to notice that the first bicycle in the world (in the 18th - 19th century) had three wheels. Nowaday, it is still easy to find Tuk-tuk in Thailand, but you are very lucky in you can find one cyclo in Vietnam (the traditional one, im not talking about modern cyclo created for tourism purposes).

In India they are called auto rickshaws (motorpowered).
In Thailand a similar version is called a tuk-tuk.
In Saigon the human powered tricycle is called a cyclo.
There is another tricycle operated in Penang, Malaysia but I don't remember what it's called.

3 wheeled bike is a tricycle.
a bike with a sidecar/sidecab or one with a cab at the back is a rickshaw or trishaw.

yeps.. in Vietnamese, it's called a xich lo. In English, it's like a rickshaw but instead of someone pulling it, they use a cycle.

In Vietnamese, it is called "xich lo", which is actually just the Vietnamese pronunciation for the western-rooted word "cyclo", as demonstrated in http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112767/.
