Can Motorized Bicycles Carry Passengers?
1 Answers
National traffic regulations do not have clear provisions for fuel-powered motorized bicycles. If the vehicle can be registered as a motor vehicle locally, it is generally classified as a moped. If it cannot be registered, it is not allowed to be driven on the road, let alone carry passengers. Relevant information is as follows: Relevant regulations: In the "Traffic Law," there are clear provisions for electric-powered motorized bicycles, which are classified as non-motor vehicles; however, there are no clear provisions for fuel-powered motorized bicycles. According to the standards of the "Safety Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation (GB7258—2004)," fuel-powered motorized bicycles should be classified as mopeds. Definition: The "Safety Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation (GB7258—2012)" defines a "moped" as: "A two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicle, regardless of the driving method, with a maximum speed not exceeding 50 kilometers per hour, and if an internal combustion engine is used, its displacement does not exceed 50 milliliters."
