The maximum speed of mopeds cannot exceed 25km/h, the motor power cannot be greater than 400W, the battery voltage cannot exceed 48V, and the total vehicle weight must not exceed 55kg. New regulations for motorcycle passengers: Children can carry one passenger, while regulations for adults vary by region. According to Article 55, Paragraph 3 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", "The rear seat of a motorcycle shall not carry minors under 12 years of age, and light motorcycles shall not carry passengers." Adult riders of bicycles or electric bicycles may carry one minor under 12 years old on urban roads under safe conditions, and no more than one passenger on other roads. Electric motorcycle speed standards: Electric motorcycles can have a maximum speed exceeding 50km/h with motor power greater than 4000W. Light electric motorcycles have a maximum speed not exceeding 50km/h, with motor power between 400W and 4000W. Both types have no restrictions on battery voltage and may exceed 55kg in total weight. Note that under these standards, neither electric motorcycles nor light electric motorcycles require pedal installation.

As a young urban commuter, I recently upgraded my electric moped and realized the new regulations have really changed things. The current rules categorize vehicles into three types, with electric mopeds falling under the light motorcycle category, which must have their speed limited to no more than 50 km/h from the factory; otherwise, they can't be registered. A driver's license is now required, typically class E or F. Riding without one risks fines, vehicle impoundment by traffic police, or even point deductions in more serious cases. Battery safety standards are also stricter, requiring fireproof and explosion-proof lithium batteries—no more swapping in old batteries casually. The registration process is straightforward: just bring the invoice to the DMV for insurance and license plates, which are much cheaper than for gasoline motorcycles. I think the new rules are a good thing—they reduce accidents, prioritize rider safety, cut down on wrong-way riding, and make for a smoother ride. For daily maintenance, remember to check the brakes and lights, and don't skip servicing to keep the bike in good condition, ensuring a safer and more worry-free commute.

What to Do If There Are Unprocessed Traffic Violations When the Driving License Scoring Cycle Ends?

If demerit points have been accumulated within a scoring cycle of the driving license and traffic violations remain unprocessed by the clearance time, the points will not be cleared. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses": 1. Article 66: For road traffic safety violations committed by motor vehicle drivers, penalties and demerit points shall be executed simultaneously; if a motor vehicle driver commits two or more violations at once, the demerit points shall be calculated separately and accumulated; 2. Article 67: If a motor vehicle driver disagrees with the penalty for a road traffic safety violation and applies for administrative reconsideration or files an administrative lawsuit, and the original penalty decision is altered or revoked through legal adjudication, the corresponding demerit points shall be adjusted or revoked accordingly; 3. Article 69: If a motor vehicle driver's demerit points within a scoring cycle do not reach 12 points and all fines have been paid, the points shall be cleared; if the demerit points do not reach 12 points but there are unpaid fines, the points shall be carried over to the next scoring cycle.

What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Chery Arrizo e?

Chery Arrizo e's 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 12.6 seconds. Significance of 0-100 km/h acceleration: The 0-100 km/h acceleration refers to the time taken to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h, which is the most intuitive reflection of a car's power. Generally, 1.6L compact cars achieve 0-100 km/h acceleration times between 11 to 13 seconds, 2.0T mid-size sedans between 7 to 8 seconds, while supercars mostly achieve acceleration times of less than 3.8 seconds. 0-100 km/h acceleration testing: Manufacturers usually indicate the official 0-100 km/h acceleration time in the vehicle's promotional materials, but the actual test results often differ from the official figures. This is because factors such as different ambient temperatures, road conditions, vehicle wear, and even the amount of remaining fuel in the tank can affect the test results. Therefore, there are no two identical acceleration test results.

What are the reasons why the hood of the Tiguan automatically pops open and cannot be closed?

The reasons why the hood of the Tiguan automatically pops open and cannot be closed are as follows: 1. Insufficient coolant: Prolonged water circulation during engine operation can cause the coolant in the engine cooling system to gradually deplete, leading to a lack of water in the radiator. If the owner fails to promptly inspect and replenish the coolant, it can easily result in engine overheating, causing the hood to automatically pop open. 2. Cooling fan malfunction: A damaged cooling fan or a short circuit in the wiring can cause the fan to malfunction or operate at a slow speed, preventing the engine's heat from dissipating. This naturally raises the engine temperature, causing the hood to automatically pop open. 3. Thermostat failure: The thermostat is a device that controls the flow path of the coolant. If it becomes stuck or fails, the engine's large and small circulation cycles will inevitably be affected, preventing the engine's heat from being effectively dissipated. 4. Water pump failure: If the water pump malfunctions, the water that conducts heat in the engine cannot circulate and renew in time. As a result, the water temperature will rise rapidly after the engine starts, and the water temperature warning light on the dashboard will illuminate.

What Can Be Used to Detect a Lost Car Key?

If you can't find your car key, it cannot be detected unless you purchase a smart key finder online. This device consists of a finder and a receiver that communicate via Bluetooth signals. Simply attach the receiver to your key, and when the key is lost, press the designated button on the finder. The receiver will emit a beeping sound, allowing you to locate the key by following the sound. More details are as follows: 1. What to do if you lose your car key: The first thing to consider is the spare key. Most cars come with two keys—a primary key and a spare key. Note that the spare key should not be kept inside the car but in a safe place at home. Otherwise, if you lose the primary key and the spare key is also in the car, you will need to call a locksmith. 2. Anti-theft chip keys: Keys with anti-theft chips are more advanced. In addition to the mechanical part of the key matching, the key must also be reprogrammed so that the code on the key chip matches the code of the engine immobilizer system to start the engine. This type of key is more complex to duplicate. Large repair shops can handle it, and the cost is relatively lower. For professional service, you can go to a 4S dealership, though it may take longer.
