Is a Three-Wheeled Motorcycle with a Steering Wheel Considered a Car?
1 Answers
No, it is not considered a car. Three-wheeled vehicles are divided into two types: handlebar-operated and steering-wheel-operated. A C1 license only permits driving steering-wheel-operated vehicles. Driving an electric three-wheeled vehicle requires a D license. Specific details are as follows: Definition: According to the "General Technical Conditions for Electric Motorcycles and Electric Light Motorcycles" and the "Safety Requirements for Electric Motorcycles and Electric Light Motorcycles" implemented on January 1, 2010, electric two-wheeled vehicles with a maximum design speed exceeding 50 km/h or electric three-wheeled vehicles with an unladen weight not exceeding 400 kg, powered by electricity, are defined as electric motorcycles. Additional Information: Legal Road Use: All electric three-wheeled vehicles should be classified as motor vehicles. Those that comply with the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" must be registered before being allowed on the road. For those that do not meet the registration requirements, according to the "Notice on Issues Related to the Reform of Vehicle Manufacturing Enterprises and Product Catalog Management," they should be considered illegally assembled motor vehicles.
