Interesting. eBikes are ok?
ebikes are, but the edge in between powerful ebike and a moped does not seem to clear to anybody here, police included.
Adding to the confusion, mopeds from neighbouring municipalities, may or may not be let into some areas of "peripheral districts" depending on legal technicalities. You may have your moped impounded in Baoan centre, but can drive safely in Baoan if you have moped numberplate from a neighbouring rural locality, and do not stick into "centre."
In practice, police impounds a moped first, and thinks later
People buy Nius here and there, and have them confiscated regularly every few months. Niu is not ok for me, not as comfy as maxi scooters, nor fast as 150cc.
If I will commit to buying a proper electric moped, I would like not to have it being seized every few months.
