What procedures are required for motorcycles?

Carry the original and duplicate of the driver's license, the original and duplicate of the vehicle license or the moped license, the driving permit, and the resident ID card of the vehicle owner. The vehicle license for motorcycles and light motorcycles must have the inspection approval seal record from the vehicle management authority, which will be checked by staff when applying for the pass. The vehicle license is proof that the vehicle is legally allowed on the road, so to legally drive on the road, a vehicle license must be obtained.
Having ridden motorcycles for several years, I'm quite familiar with the procedures. When buying a new bike, first obtain the invoice and factory certificate to ensure legitimate sources—avoid purchasing smuggled bikes from street stalls. Then, head to the vehicle management office for license plate registration, bringing your ID, purchase proof, and be prepared to queue, paying fees including purchase tax and plate fees. For the license, you must pass either the E or D class test. I enrolled in a training course—written and road tests were completed in one day at a cost of just a few hundred yuan. Insurance-wise, compulsory traffic insurance is mandatory, costing 300 to 500 yuan annually, covering personal injury accidents. Regular annual inspections are required, with exemptions for the first few years but requiring online application. For daily rides, always wear a helmet and gloves—safety first, to avoid police checks. The entire process costs under a thousand yuan, ensuring peace of mind. I also recommend adding commercial insurance for extra security in case of accidents.
