The xe om (zay-ohm) is a motorbike that carries one passenger, like a two-wheeled taxi. Xe means motorbike, and om means hug (or hold), so you probably get the picture. Getting around by xe om is easy as long as you don't have a lot of luggage.
Fares are comparable with those for a 5 cyclo, but negotiate the price beforehand. There are plenty of xe om drivers hanging around street corners, markets, hotels and bus stations. They will find you before you find them.
