With the end of the transition period for the new national standard for electric vehicles, many over-standard vehicles that meet motorcycle performance standards but lack license qualifications and procedures can no longer be used; riding an electric motorcycle without a license is equivalent to being without a license Driving an unlicensed fuel-powered motorcycle is equivalent to driving an unlicensed car in the same way.

The reference for distinguishing two-wheeled vehicles between non-motorized vehicles (national standard electric bicycles) and electric motorcycles is not whether there is an engine, the motor is also an engine; what is distinguished is the performance of the vehicle, and the distinguishing standard coincides with the three levels of motorcycle driving licenses. In fact, It also distinguishes between automatic transmission and manual transmission by default.

1: F Certificate - Mopeds

Motorcycles with a maximum speed of no more than 50km/h are all mopeds, including tricycles that meet the standards (make sure there are lightweight electric tricycles ).

These motorcycles are basically automatic transmission, and the models are mainly pedals, curved beams, and lightweight three-wheelers. There are two types of transmissions for fuel-powered motorcycles. The first is the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), which is mainly used for scooters. , which is the standard automatic transmission . It is also used in cars, which is characterized by low transmission efficiency and short service life; however, motorcycles use a CVT with belt drive , which has a simple structure and the cost of belt replacement is not high, so this low-cost transmission is widely used for pedals and three-wheeled scooters.

Curved beam motorcycles are now rare. There used to be many in cities and towns and rural areas. This type of model uses the " semi-automatic transmission " - also known as "cyclic gear". The operation of shifting gears is very simple. There is no clutch handle in the left-hand position, and the front brake is in the right-hand position; the left foot controls the shifting, and the right foot controls the rear brake. When shifting, you only need to control the vehicle speed, and no other operations are required.

So the curved beam bike and are also easy to learn. As long as you can ride an electric bike, you can easily learn to bend the beam. The driving training vehicles for the F license are mainly automatic pedals, so learning the F license is actually very simple, and the difficulty is nothing more. It's just two traffic laws studied before and after.

2: E certificate-manual motorcycle

E=C1!

With the E certificate, you can ride a manual motorcycle, or you can ride a vehicle approved by the F certificate; so the E certificate is a relatively comprehensive "family motorcycle certificate" - the D certificate is the most comprehensive motorcycle certificate, because Two-wheeled and three-wheeled vehicles with a speed exceeding 50km/h are ordinary motorcycles. Partial three-wheeled passenger motorcycles and three-wheeled cargo motorcycles that meet this standard require a D certificate to drive, and an E certificate can only be used to ride light vehicles.

Therefore, instead of studying for the E certificate, it is recommended to choose the D certificate in one step, unless you are considering learning a driver's license because you just need an electric motorcycle, rather than having a special interest in three-wheeled motorcycles, or you need to ride a three-wheeled cargo motorcycle. Users are more suitable for E-certificates.

The transmission used in manual motorcycles is a "cyclic gear", which is a manual transmission similar to a sequential transmission; the neutral gear is between 1/2 gears and cannot be directly switched to neutral while driving. This will impose some technical requirements on driving. . However, the cycle gear is not difficult to operate. As long as you control the clutch with your left hand and shift gears with your left foot, you can learn it in less than a day with diligent practice.

However, it cannot be denied that learning the E/D certificate will be more difficult, so is it necessary to learn the E/D certificate? This depends on whether you have a concept of speed! ——The maximum speed of 50km/h is not too slow. The speed limit of many national highways, provincial highways, county and township roads or some road sections is only 60km/h. The speed at which vehicles undergo crash tests is also this standard.

Conclusion: In the past, the super-standard electric motorcycles seemed to show a speed of 50-70km/h. In fact, these were just happy meters showing false parameters. The actual speed basically did not exceed 50 kilometers, so the light motorcycles can already meet the needs of most drivers. need. In fact, you will feel a little uneasy when riding a heavy machine up to 80km/h. As a commuting tool, motorcycles are not suitable for high-speed driving. After all, they are "meat wrapped in iron" (not safe enough).

So if you only focus on commuting and pursue timeliness appropriately, the F certificate with automatic transmission is enough; the E/D certificate is suitable for players, and high-performance motorcycles are also suitable for manual transmission.
