Hi,

Thank you so much for all of your information. It has been incredibly helpful.

I noticed that this was posted about a year ago. Have there been any developments in terms of needing to have a driver’s license to drive an electric scooter? Do you know when the laws might change?

Thank You!

Helmets are mandatory, although enforcement is sparse.

While you see thousands of family’s riding on moped’s, foreigners doing the same will be a different matter. For your own safety, don’t put a child on a moped or motorbike until they’re ready.

Lawrence,

Thanks a lot for your detailed information.

Please advise, if kids (of age, 5 years) can be taken along with us? I understand you mentioned, only one passenger is allowed. But I can not go for a nearby shopping mall, without my kid.

Second question will be, do we need helmet while driving?

Regards, Vasikar Nagarajan

Just buy one. They’re pseudo illegal – you can get a waidi (outside Shanghai) plate, although technically only allowed to ride with that outside the outer ringroad, or on the inner ringroad on weekends.
In practice they don’t bother you unless you do something silly.

Keep an eye or an ear out though for when they do inspections or checks – that happens once a year usually, so its best not to risk it during those times.

This is very interesting and a bit confusing.
We can see hundreds of Vespa style scooter in Shanghai… I understand that there are all illegal.
I was about to buy one… What shall I do.. hum.
Thanks anyway to let us know the dark side of the scooter’s saler…
