Motorcycles will not abolish the 13-year mandatory scrapping policy. There is no news indicating that the mandatory scrapping of motorcycles will be abolished in 2021, at least not this year. Regulations: According to the regulations, the service life of three-wheeled motorcycles is 12 years, while the mandatory scrapping period for other motorcycles is 13 years. Relevant departments formulate this service life regulation based on local conditions, with the former not less than 10 years and the latter not less than 11 years. In other words, the scrapping period for three-wheeled motorcycles is 10~12 years, while for other motorcycles, it is 11~13 years. Unreasonable mandatory scrapping: In recent years, abolishing the mandatory scrapping policy for motorcycles has been a controversial issue. The mandatory scrapping policy was certainly established to reduce safety hazards, and 13 years is the maximum service life for motorcycles. However, mandatory scrapping seems unreasonable in many regions. Some motorcycles are rarely ridden and remain unused for years due to their condition, making mandatory scrapping overly wasteful.

I'm a huge motorcycle enthusiast, having ridden mine on mountain roads for nearly a decade, and it's still running smoothly. But the 13-year mandatory scrappage policy gives me a headache. This regulation comes from national standards, meaning my beloved bike must be scrapped once it reaches the age limit. I believe that with technological advancements, motorcycles have now adopted the China IV emission standard, with much better emission control than before, and engines are more durable and reliable. The 15-year scrappage rule for private cars has already been abolished, proving that policies are becoming more flexible. Relevant authorities may be discussing relaxing the motorcycle scrappage restrictions, replacing them with stricter annual inspections to allow well-maintained bikes to stay on the road. Extending service life aligns with sustainable development principles and reduces resource waste. I suggest owners pay more attention to industry trends and support replacing mandatory scrappage with regular inspections, giving old bikes a new lease on life.

From over 20 years of motorcycle riding experience, the 13-year mandatory scrappage policy seems quite unreasonable. Some well-maintained bikes with engines and braking systems in optimal condition are prematurely discarded. While the policy aims to address safety and environmental concerns, modern motorcycle technology has significantly improved—electronic fuel injection ensures emissions compliance, and regular maintenance preserves performance. The relaxation of private car policies indicates a shifting trend, suggesting potential motorcycle policy optimizations: enhancing annual inspection frequency and standards, such as adding emission testing items. This approach would allow qualified bikes to stay roadworthy while avoiding blanket regulations. We hope authorities act swiftly to balance safety with economic practicality, granting riders continued riding freedom.

How to Know a Car's Fuel Consumption per 100 Kilometers?

Methods for calculating a car's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers equals the fuel consumption (liters) divided by the driving distance (kilometers) multiplied by 100. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers indicated in the manual of domestic cars is generally the constant-speed fuel consumption. Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy index when the car is driving at a constant speed on a good road surface. Several key technologies related to fuel consumption include three main aspects: Vehicle weight: The relationship between vehicle weight and fuel consumption is directly proportional. For every 10% reduction in vehicle weight, fuel consumption will decrease by several percentage points accordingly; Car design: Car design, with a smaller aerodynamic drag, will significantly reduce fuel consumption. The relationship between these two is also directly proportional; Road conditions: Driving road conditions are an important factor affecting fuel consumption.

Should the Car Radiator Be Filled to the Top When Adding Water?

When adding water to the car radiator, it should not be filled to the top. The water level should be between the highest and lowest marks on the radiator. Here is more information about the car radiator: Introduction: The car radiator, also known as the heat dissipater, is a key component of the car's cooling system and part of the car engine. Function: Its purpose is to dissipate heat. The coolant absorbs heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator to release the heat, and then returns to the water jacket for circulation, achieving temperature regulation. Working Principle: When the engine's water temperature is high, the water pump circulates the water repeatedly to lower the engine's temperature, thereby protecting the engine. In winter, if the water temperature is too low, the water circulation stops to prevent the engine from becoming too cold.

What are the reasons for engine stalling due to high temperature?

Engine stalling due to high temperature is generally caused by excessive water temperature. The following are detailed explanations and solutions for engine high-temperature stalling: Unreasonable equipment installation position: Excessive distance between the radiator and the engine, the fan being outside the air duct, or the air conditioning condenser blocking the radiator. Solution: If there is sufficient space in the engine compartment, change the installation position of the air conditioning condenser. If the generator has sufficient power output, install an electric fan in front of the condenser. Engine vapor lock: After draining the engine or refilling it when severely low on water, air may not be completely expelled from the engine, causing vapor lock and leading to excessive engine temperature. Solution: After refilling, run the engine for a few minutes, open the filler cap, and top up the water again. Component failures in the engine cooling system: Damaged water pump, faulty thermostat, excessive scale in the cooling system, clogged radiator tubes, or debris between radiator tubes can all cause high engine water temperature. Solution: Inspect and replace the relevant components.
