Where to Find the Frame Number on a Luyuan Vehicle?
2 Answers
The frame number is located at the lower left corner of the vehicle's windshield. Other common locations include: the vehicle registration certificate, which clearly indicates the frame number; the insurance policy, which may have it pasted or recorded; and the vehicle's model nameplate. Introduction to the Frame Number: Also known as the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), it is a unique 17-character alphanumeric code that serves as the vehicle's ID. Each vehicle has its own unique frame number. The letters and numbers in the frame number represent information such as the vehicle's production region, manufacturer, production year, and model. Detailed Interpretation of the Frame Number: Positions 1-3 (WMI): World Manufacturer Identifier. The first digit represents the vehicle's production country and region, while the second and third digits indicate the manufacturer and vehicle type. Positions 4-9 (VDS): Vehicle Descriptor Section. Digits 4-8 represent the vehicle's category, series, body type, and engine type, among other details. The ninth digit is the check digit. Positions 10-17 (VIS): Vehicle Indicator Section.
As a seasoned rider of Luyuan electric scooters, I can share some tips on locating the VIN. When I bought mine, I researched this – the VIN is usually on a label attached below the head tube, near the steering column. It's easy to spot if you crouch down, but avoid scratching the label. You can also find a duplicate label under the seat by carefully prying open the cushion, though be gentle to avoid damaging it. The VIN acts as the scooter's ID card, essential for registration, insurance, or theft recovery. I recommend photographing it when you get a new scooter – this design is standard across Luyuan and other e-bike brands. Labels may fade in extreme weather, so wipe them periodically. Always cross-check with documents like invoices or registration cards where it's printed as backup. For older models with worn labels, visit dealerships to check factory records. Bring a flashlight for better visibility before DIY attempts – stay meticulous. From experience, it's simple but requires attention to detail.
