Will the 13-year mandatory scrapping policy for motorcycles be abolished?

[DeDallas]

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.
