1 Answers
Lightweight two-wheeled motorcycles, lightweight three-wheeled motorcycles, two-wheeled motorcycles, and sidecar motorcycles with a service life of 8-10 years, as well as regular three-wheeled motorcycles with a service life of 7-9 years, must be scrapped. The national regulations stipulate a service life of 10 years for two-wheeled motorcycles, which can be extended by 3 years. However, during the 3-year extension period, the motorcycle must undergo a semi-annual inspection and pass before the extension can be granted. After 13 years, mandatory scrapping is enforced. Motorcycles that fall under any of the following circumstances must be scrapped: 1. Lightweight two-wheeled motorcycles, lightweight three-wheeled motorcycles, two-wheeled motorcycles, and sidecar motorcycles with a cumulative mileage of 100,000 kilometers, or regular three-wheeled motorcycles with a cumulative mileage of 80,000 kilometers; 2. Lightweight two-wheeled motorcycles, lightweight three-wheeled motorcycles, two-wheeled motorcycles, and sidecar motorcycles with a service life of 8-10 years, or regular three-wheeled motorcycles with a service life of 7-9 years. The specific service life is determined by the relevant departments of the provincial, autonomous region, or municipal government within the above service life range, based on local conditions; 3. Vehicles that are severely damaged and cannot be repaired; 4. Motorcycles whose fuel consumption exceeds 20% of the standard value specified in the national "Announcement" for the corresponding displacement of factory-standard vehicles; 5. Vehicles that still fail to meet the national motor vehicle safety technical requirements after repair and adjustment; 6. Vehicles whose exhaust pollutants or noise still exceed national or local emission standards after repair, adjustment, or the application of emission control technology.
