Can Senior Mobility Scooters Be Driven on the Road?

Senior mobility scooters can be driven on the road. Senior Mobility Scooters: Low-speed electric four-wheel vehicles, due to their slow speed and simple operation, are popular among the elderly and are commonly referred to as senior mobility scooters or "old man's joy." Using these scooters for travel provides shelter from wind and rain while being safe and comfortable. However, with the standardization of electric vehicle management regulations, the control over electric vehicles has become increasingly strict. Some non-compliant senior mobility scooters are prohibited from being driven on the road, leading many elderly people to believe that these scooters cannot be licensed or driven. In fact, the standard for low-speed four-wheel electric senior mobility scooters was completed in August as a draft for public comments and is currently being implemented in an orderly manner. This indicates that the national standard for senior mobility scooters is about to be released, and these scooters will soon be officially recognized. Conditions for Licensing Senior Mobility Scooters: Compliance with national standards. When purchasing a senior mobility scooter, it must meet criteria such as having no more than 4 seats, a total vehicle weight not exceeding 750 kilograms, and a range of no less than 100 kilometers. Inclusion in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's product catalog. All motor vehicles requiring licensing must be listed in the Ministry's product catalog to qualify for licensing. Therefore, it is essential to purchase well-known brand products that can be found in the catalog. Complete vehicle certificates and invoices. Licensing requires submission of vehicle certificates, including 3C certification, a compliance certificate, and a vehicle conformity certificate (commonly known as the "big certificate"). Additionally, the purchase invoice for the senior mobility scooter must be provided. Only with all these documents can the licensing process proceed. Payment of compulsory insurance. All motor vehicles must have compulsory insurance before licensing, and the insurance policy must be submitted. Other commercial insurance can be purchased voluntarily based on individual needs.

Why is the Sagitar's air conditioning not cooling?

Here are the reasons why a car's air conditioning may not be cooling: 1. Insufficient cooling: First, determine if the air filter is clogged, leading to reduced airflow. Many cases fall under this category. If the air is cool enough but the airflow is insufficient, it may feel like the cooling is inadequate. Replacing the air filter can resolve this issue. 2. Excessive dust on the evaporator: If the air filter is not clogged but the airflow is still low, and the air conditioning system shows no faults, the issue may be due to excessive dust on the evaporator, requiring an air conditioning cleaning. Generally, it is recommended to replace the air filter twice a year—once in winter and once in summer. The air conditioning should be cleaned once a year or every two years, depending on usage frequency. Cleaning should be done in summer, as winter does not require cleaning for heating purposes. 3. Dirty condenser: A dirty condenser is another reason for poor air conditioning performance. The condenser is located in front of the radiator, closely adjacent to it, and is used to dissipate heat from the refrigerant. It can often become clogged with debris like lint, leading to poor heat dissipation and reduced cooling efficiency. 4. Low refrigerant level: If the refrigerant level in the air conditioning system's pipelines is insufficient, the pressure decreases, reducing the amount of heat removed and resulting in inadequate cooling. If there is no refrigerant at all, the system will not cool at all. Refrigerant needs to be refilled, and any leaks should be checked. 5. Faulty components in the air conditioning system: For example, a damaged compressor or expansion valve may require inspection and repair at a 4S shop.

What type of engine oil should be used for Lavida 1.6 naturally aspirated engine?

Use SJ grade mineral engine oil with the model number 5w40. Shell engine oil is a good choice due to its high quality. Its greatest advantage is that it is not prone to deterioration, has a relatively long oil change interval, and performs well in terms of kinematic performance, with excellent high-temperature performance as well. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Base oil technology: The base oil, polyalphaolefin (PAO), is a patented technology of ExxonMobil Corporation, abbreviated as PAO. It is derived from ethylene and propylene dispersed from crude oil's gas and natural gas, which are then polymerized and catalyzed through professional equipment to refine this base oil. 2. Mobil oil performance: Mobil oil performs well in terms of kinematic performance. Many manufacturers who choose Mobil oil often focus more on performance.
