Prepare the motor vehicle registration certificate, motor vehicle driving license, ID cards of both the buyer and seller, power of attorney, and consent to transfer documents for vehicle inspection at the DMV. Then, go to the market to issue a used car transaction invoice, return the driving license and original license plate, file the transfer, select a new license plate, print the driving license, arrange for the mailing of the new license plate number, and finally pay the fees. Detailed vehicle transfer process: Issue transaction: Pay the used car transaction tax. Private accounts are charged 1%, and corporate accounts are charged 4%. Vehicle inspection: Drive the car to the inspection site for external inspection, stamping, license plate removal, and photography. Collect vehicle photos, attach them to the inspection record form, and enter the transfer hall to complete the filing procedures. License plate selection: After obtaining a number from the dispenser, queue up with the relevant materials to pay the transfer fees. Transfer out: Required materials include the motor vehicle registration, transfer, and cancellation form/transfer application form, inspection record form, original motor vehicle property registration certificate, original driving license, original owner’s ID card, original license plate number, vehicle photos, and transaction market transfer invoice. The original owner of the used car needs to provide documents such as the registration certificate, driving license, and ID card. The buyer needs to provide an ID card, and if they are from another city, a residence permit or temporary residence certificate is required. Vehicle transfer first requires a vehicle evaluation. The evaluation fee is generally 1%-2% of the evaluated vehicle price, and other fees include license plates, driving license, etc. The original commercial insurance can be canceled (compulsory insurance cannot be canceled), or the insurance can be transferred to the buyer at the insurance company. Precautions when buying a used car: Incomplete procedures. Complete used car procedures include: vehicle registration certificate (or original purchase invoice), driving license, vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, road maintenance fee procedures, and compulsory insurance. Missing vehicle registration certificates or driving licenses, or unpaid compulsory insurance and road maintenance fees, can cause endless trouble for the buyer. Therefore, when purchasing a car, if the seller cannot provide complete procedures, consumers should be especially cautious. Tampering with the odometer. Most consumers prefer to judge the car’s condition by the odometer, and sellers often take advantage of this psychology to tamper with the odometer. In fact, the odometer is not just a record of usage intensity but also a recorder for the maintenance and replacement of other vehicle parts. If buyers follow the tampered odometer for maintenance, it will bring a series of potential safety hazards. New paint covering "external injuries." When consumers choose a used car, if the car has been repainted and there are signs of repair around the front, rear, and A, B, C pillars, the car is very likely to have been involved in a major accident. "Tuning the heart" to raise the price. Many consumers often focus too much on the car’s "heart" (engine) and neglect the health of the car body. Used car sellers take advantage of this psychology by replacing engine parts to make the vehicle’s "heart" appear younger and thus raise the price.

I just bought the Xiaodao N9 Sports Edition, with an official range of 120 km, but the actual riding experience was a pleasant surprise. After a full charge, I could make a round trip from Tongzhou to Wangfujing and still have two bars of left, covering about 90+ km. This was tested while carrying a passenger. If you opt for the 72V23Ah graphene battery version, it can easily exceed 100 km in summer. However, I should remind you that the actual range depends on weight—my 80 kg and my friend's 100 kg resulted in a 15 km difference on the same route. Avoid aggressive uphill riding, as ECO mode saves 20% more power than Sport mode, and maintaining a tire pressure of 2.5 is also crucial.

Last year, I bought the Xiaodao Kuqi for my younger daughter, equipped with a 48V12Ah lead-acid . She rides 6 kilometers to school every day and attends tutoring classes on weekends, so she basically charges it once every ten days. The dealer claimed a theoretical range of 40 kilometers, but in actual tests, it can run about 35 kilometers without the headlights on. My advice is not to believe those exaggerated range advertisements—focus on the battery's ampere-hour (Ah) rating. For example, the Xiaodao Jinyuan version with a 60V20Ah battery can easily cover 70 kilometers for lighter riders. Remember, battery performance drops by 30% in winter, and below freezing, the range is directly reduced to 70% of normal.

After three years of researching electric vehicles, Xiaodao's range varies by model. The base model with a 48V12Ah offers 30-40 km range, mid-tier 60V20Ah models achieve 60-80 km, while flagship versions like the Long March edition equipped with 72V35Ah batteries have been tested to exceed 100 km. However, range is strongly influenced by three factors: a 400W motor provides 20% more range than an 800W one, 2.75-inch tires are more energy-efficient than 3.0-inch ones, and most critically, riding habits. Maintaining a steady 25 km/h speed can extend range by 15 km compared to frequent braking and acceleration, and carrying loads over 150 kg reduces range by 30%.

Our dealership has tested five Xiaodao models: the Bear Edition has the shortest range of 32 km, ideal for grocery runs and school pickups; the N8 Urban Edition delivers the steadiest performance at 55 km; the Long March Edition genuinely exceeds 100 km. We've observed a pattern: graphene batteries retain 85% capacity after 800 cycles, while standard lead-acid batteries drop to 70% after just 500 cycles. When picking up your vehicle, ask the technician to adjust the controller's undervoltage setting - lowering it by 0.5V in summer can add 8 km to your range. Avoid fully depleting the ; charging at 20% remaining extends battery life by six months.

My colleague's Xiaodao GT Knight Edition commutes 24 kilometers daily and requires charging every three days. This model with a 72V20Ah is officially rated for 80 kilometers. With his 75kg weight, real-world tests showed 72 kilometers in summer, but only 50 kilometers in winter when using the heating handle. It's recommended to opt for vacuum tires when purchasing, as they are 7% more energy-efficient than standard tires. Switching to Chaoyang brand tires further reduces rolling resistance. For modifications, note that installing a car audio system can decrease range by 10%, while upgrading to LED headlights saves power compared to halogen. Monthly checks of the charger's output voltage are essential; replace immediately if the deviation exceeds 0.3V to avoid battery damage.
