Electric motorcycles require a driver's license. The conditions for obtaining a driver's license and the legal basis are introduced as follows: Introduction to Driver's License: A driver's license (full name: Motor Vehicle Driving License), also known as a "driving license," is a document issued by the government transportation department to individuals who meet the driving qualification requirements, usually in the form of a card. Conditions for Holding a Driver's License: To obtain a driver's license, one must meet the minimum age requirement and pass a driving test. The driver's license typically specifies the types of motor vehicles the holder is permitted to drive. Legal Basis: "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses." Examination Subjects: The examination subjects include four items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, road driving (including safe and civilized driving), etc.
As a cycling enthusiast and local resident of Loudi, I often ride my electric motorcycle through the city streets during rush hours. Based on my experience, the vast majority of electric motorcycles require a driver's license, especially those heavy-duty models that can reach speeds of over 30 kilometers per hour. A few years ago, I also purchased an electric motorcycle and specifically went to the vehicle management office to obtain a Class E driver's license. The whole process cost me a few hundred yuan and involved learning traffic rules and road test skills. In Loudi, traffic police occasionally set up checkpoints at major intersections, and friends without licenses have been fined multiple times—each time costing several hundred yuan and potentially affecting their traffic safety records. I recommend everyone not to cut corners for convenience. Check the vehicle specifications in advance and confirm whether a license is required before purchasing. Safe riding can also save you trouble. Additionally, the electric vehicle market in Loudi is quite active, so when making a purchase, pay attention to the new national standards to avoid buying a vehicle that shouldn't be ridden.
