What are the new regulations for motorcycles in 2021?

Here are the new regulations for motorcycles in 2021: 1. Nationwide motorcycle license examination: In 2021, motorcycles will implement a nationwide policy of 'cross-regional handling, one-certificate examination, and nationwide examination.' Applicants can apply for a motorcycle license with their resident ID card at any location across the country, without the need to submit a residence permit or residence registration certificate. This will benefit 300,000 people annually who take the motorcycle license examination in different regions. At the same time, the online transfer of motorcycle registration information will be implemented. Applicants can directly apply at the vehicle management office of the destination location without returning to the original location for vehicle inspection or extracting paper files, reducing face-to-face processing and eliminating the need for people to travel between two locations. 2. Deepening the 'online service' experience: Drivers can use the 'Traffic Management 12123' APP to query and download records such as traffic accident liabilities, changes in permitted driving models, traffic violations, and full-point deductions, facilitating the presentation and use of electronic certificates of traffic safety records in employment, job applications, and other aspects of daily life, thereby promoting drivers' awareness of integrity and law-abiding behavior.

I remember the 2021 motorcycle regulations mainly updated emission standards, such as the full implementation of China VI standards. This requires new vehicles to meet stricter exhaust requirements to reduce pollution emissions, especially for older motorcycles that need to be replaced or have their exhaust systems checked promptly. As a rider, I went to the vehicle management office for testing right away, and the process was surprisingly smooth—just queue up and take an exhaust sample. The new regulations also strengthened the mandatory helmet-wearing rule, with stricter police enforcement. I've seen many friends fined 200 yuan for not wearing one. Modified motorcycles are also more heavily restricted now; for example, those with excessive noise can be impounded immediately. Additionally, the registration rules for electric motorcycles were simplified, but they must have official invoices and 3C certification. Overall, these changes make riding safer and more environmentally friendly. I recommend that motorcyclists regularly maintain their bikes at 4S shops to avoid last-minute chaos before inspections and to save some fuel.
