Where is the motor number located on an electric tricycle?
2 Answers
Car engine number locations are as follows: Engine cylinder block: The engine model is stamped on the engine cylinder block, typically on both rear sides of the cylinder block. Sometimes the location may not be visually accessible and requires using a lift to view it. Vehicle registration certificate: The engine model is also noted on the registration certificate, which includes the engine number for reference. Rubbing engine number: To create a rubbing of the engine number, place a white paper over the engine number and chassis number, then gently rub sideways with a pencil to transfer the number impression. Cut out the impression and glue it onto the registration form.
I've been driving an electric tricycle for a while now, and when I first registered it, I also had to look for the motor number. This thing is usually located on the motor casing that drives the rear wheel, right on that metal block. You might need to crouch down to check the side or the rear. Some models have a label with a combination of numbers and letters, or it's deeply engraved directly onto the casing, making it hard to rub off. If it's dirty, just wipe it with a damp cloth to see clearly. Later, I found out that the location might vary slightly depending on the brand—for example, some are near the battery compartment, where you need to lift a cover panel. This number is crucial; it must be provided when registering an electric tricycle, as required by our traffic management office, serving as the vehicle's unique identifier. If you've just got a new one, remember to jot it down quickly to prevent loss. If you can't find it, don't worry; just ask at a repair shop or the seller, and they'll know.
