1 Answers
Fuel-powered scooters require a driver's license. Classification of fuel-powered scooters: In the "Traffic Law," there are clear regulations for electric scooters, which are classified as non-motor vehicles; however, there are no explicit regulations for fuel-powered scooters. According to the standards of the "Technical Requirements for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles," fuel-powered scooters should be classified as light motorcycles. The "Technical Requirements for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles" defines "light motorcycles" as: "Two or three-wheeled vehicles with a maximum speed not exceeding 50 kilometers per hour, regardless of the driving method, and with an engine displacement not exceeding 50 milliliters if an internal combustion engine is used. Implementation standards: According to these regulations, many fuel-powered scooters exceed 50 kilometers per hour, so these vehicles cannot be classified as light motorcycles and indeed fall under the category of motor vehicles. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," drivers should register and license their vehicles with the traffic management department, obtain a driver's license, and drive on motor vehicle lanes. Violations should also be penalized as motor vehicle scooters.
