50cc is classified as a light locomotive; 50cc-250cc as a small locomotive; 250cc-600cc as a medium locomotive; and over 600cc as a heavy locomotive. The related introductions of locomotives and motorcycles are as follows: 1. Locomotive: A locomotive utilizes power generated by steam engines, diesel engines, traction motors, or other power machinery, and drives the driving wheels (drive wheels) through the locomotive transmission device, generating propulsion force, i.e., locomotive traction, by leveraging the adhesion between the driving wheels and the rails. Locomotives or trains operating on tracks must be able to decelerate or stop at any time, so braking devices are installed on both locomotives and railway vehicles, operated by the driver. Additionally, the blocking effect generated by the reverse action of the locomotive power unit, transmission device, or traction motor can assist the braking device in its operation. 2. Motorcycle: A fuel-powered bicycle must have a displacement of less than 36CC and must be equipped with pedals for riding, similar to a bicycle. Such bicycles do not require registration or a driver's license. Another type is the light motorcycle, commonly seen on the market as a 48CC powered bicycle. According to regulations, its displacement must not exceed 50CC, and its maximum speed must not exceed 50 kilometers per hour. This type requires a blue light motorcycle license plate and an F driver's license to be legally operated on the road. A motorcycle refers to a vehicle with a displacement greater than 50CC, which requires a yellow motor vehicle license plate and an E or D driver's license to operate.

I noticed people often get confused by the term 'Jī Chē' (motorcycle). In Taiwan, it's actually a general term for motorcycles, including what we call scooters and street bikes here. When Taiwanese friends casually say 'riding a Jī Chē to buy groceries,' they usually mean a regular scooter. But when they mention 'heavy Jī Chē,' that's different—it specifically refers to large-displacement, heavy motorcycles like Harleys, whose roaring engines can be heard two blocks away. Recently, while browsing short videos, I saw mainland riders using 'playing with Jī Chē' to exclusively refer to big-displacement motorcycles. These terminology differences are particularly interesting.

Can You Still Drive When the ABS Light Is On?

ABS fault light is on, it is recommended not to continue driving, because the ABS light on means that the vehicle's anti-lock braking system is faulty. During emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle will lose control and skid, making it impossible for the driver to slow down or adjust the vehicle's trajectory, posing significant safety hazards. There are various states of the ABS light being on, with different causes and solutions for each state, as detailed below: State 1: ABS fault light stays on (most common). Cause 1: The ABS speed sensor sensing part is covered by mud, sludge, or other contaminants, affecting the sensor's ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS computer from determining the vehicle speed and the wheel slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to regulate braking. Solution: Clean the dirt on the speed sensor and adjust the gap between the speed sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Poor signal due to loose connections between system lines or poor contact of the ABS relay, leading to system failure. Solution: Check the line connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light intermittently lights up and turns off when accelerating. Cause: When multiple vehicle electrical devices are used, the battery voltage drops below 10.5V. As the engine speed increases and the voltage rises, the ABS indicator light turns off. The ABS system power supply voltage is too low, possibly due to poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery specific gravity; inspect the charging system; examine the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light stays on after engine start and only turns off when the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding contact of the ABS hydraulic valve body; poor contact of the ABS hydraulic valve body wire connector; ABS computer failure. Solution: Loosen the grounding screw of the hydraulic valve body, then retighten it, cleaning the contact surface if necessary; check if the connector gap has widened; replace the ABS or ABS/ASR computer. State 4: ABS warning light comes on during high-speed driving. Cause: During high-speed driving, the ABS computer detects a significant difference between the rear and front wheel speed signals; incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's tire and wheel rim specifications, as indicated on the sticker near the fuel tank cap. State 5: ABS warning light intermittently lights up. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch; poor internal contact of the brake light. Solution: Start the engine, press the brake pedal, push the brake switch linkage down to the bottom with your finger, then release the brake pedal to complete the self-setting position; replace the brake light switch.

What is the solution for transmission P0730 fault?

The causes and solutions for transmission P0730 fault are as follows: 1. Solutions: ① This fault requires a technician to inspect with specialized tools. After discovering the fault, it is necessary to contact a professional technician as soon as possible to diagnose and resolve the issue. ② Pay more attention to automatic transmission shifting during daily driving. Changing unscientific driving habits can reduce shift shock, help minimize transmission wear, and significantly improve driving comfort and smoothness. Regularly check the transmission fluid to ensure the transmission operates in a good environment. 2. Causes of the fault: The output speed sensor calculates the rotational speed of the automatic transmission's output shaft. The computer uses this value in combination with the engine speed sensor, input shaft speed sensor, and other signals to precisely control shift timing, the working state of the lock-up clutch, shift duration, and transmission fluid pressure control. These are critical signals for whether the automatic transmission can shift normally.

What does 0-20w mean in engine oil?

The numbers and letters in 0-20w represent viscosity indicators, which are internationally recognized under the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) classification. In the SAE classification, the smaller the number, the better the performance at low temperatures. Methods to check engine oil quality include: 1. After pulling out the dipstick, smell it closely. If there is a strong sour odor, it indicates the oil has deteriorated. 2. Rub the old oil between your thumb and forefinger repeatedly. If you feel impurities, poor viscosity, or even a rough texture, it should be replaced promptly. 3. Hold the dipstick at a 45-degree angle under light to observe the oil droplets. If no wear particles are visible, the oil is in good condition. 4. Place a few drops of old oil on a clean white filter paper. After the oil seeps through, high-quality oil will leave no powder residue.

What to Do When the Turn Signal Light Stays On Without Flashing?

If the car's turn signal light stays on without flashing, it may be due to a problem with the relay or wiring connection. You can try replacing the relay's fuse or checking the wiring connections. Here is some extended information about turn signals: 1. The car's turn signal is a very important set of lights that alerts surrounding vehicles and pedestrians, enhancing driving safety. 2. Turn signals use flashing lights that blink when in operation, controlled by a microcontroller circuit. 3. Turn signals can be categorized into thermal filament type, wing type, hybrid type, and fully electronic type. The first two are resistance filament types, while the latter two can also be referred to as electronic types.

What does the 'A' with a circle icon in a car mean?

The 'A' with a circle icon in a car represents the Auto-Hold system function. The Auto-Hold system (AUTO-HOLD) is a technological application that enables automatic handbrake functionality while the car is in operation. This technology allows drivers to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle is stationary and prevents unnecessary rolling when the automatic electronic parking brake is engaged. The functions of the Auto-Hold system include: 1. During driving, when encountering situations like a red light that require a brief stop, the system will automatically brake the wheels after the vehicle comes to a complete stop to prevent rolling. 2. When starting on an uphill slope, the system will automatically brake to prevent backward sliding. Once the forward traction reaches a level sufficient to move uphill, the system will release the wheels automatically, allowing the vehicle to proceed forward. 3. When parking and locking the car, there is no need to pull the handbrake as the system will automatically brake the wheels. However, this feature is not available in some car models, and manual handbrake operation is still required when parking.

What does 'snow' mean on a car?

'Snow' refers to the snow mode of a car, which can be activated when driving on snowy or slippery roads. How to use it: Push the gear lever to the D position and adjust the knob to snow mode. At this time, the front and rear torque will be distributed in a 40:60 ratio, which can improve the vehicle's grip through power distribution and enhance driving safety on snowy roads. Typically, many cars are equipped with both 'sport mode' and 'snow mode' options. You can choose the appropriate driving mode based on environmental requirements to meet the driver's needs for both fun and safety. Sport mode increases the engine's shift RPM to enhance power performance. Some automated settings allow the transmission to start in second gear, ensuring smoother and gentler torque output, thereby reducing the likelihood of tire slippage on icy surfaces. Additionally, during driving, the ABS system's operational range is expanded. Normally, ABS only engages when the brake pedal is pressed hard, but in snow mode, it activates even during non-emergency braking. All these measures are designed to ensure safer driving on icy or snowy roads. This feature is particularly practical for cities in colder northern regions.
