With the aging of the population, more and more elderly people need to have their own transportation means. We call the vehicles used by most elderly people elderly scooters . In fact, there is no national definition for this, and there is no The professional definition is actually just like what we used to call Laotoule. In fact, it is a popular and habitually used tool. We think of them as scooters for the elderly.
Regarding the issue of scooters for the elderly, due to the state's rectification of the electric vehicle market, the Laotoule models that were previously favored by the elderly were notified of being banned from the road because they did not meet relevant national standards and were non-standard motor vehicles. This also makes it impossible for elderly friends to have the right to legally drive on the road, and therefore there are many complaints.
So what kind of vehicle is suitable for the elderly? Or what kind of car is considered a scooter for the elderly? Many people here have a misunderstanding, so today I thought of talking to you about scooters for the elderly. First of all, a mobility scooter is a vehicle that allows you to reduce the burden of walking and replace your own walking. It is a mobility scooter. For example, a car is just a mobility scooter for some people. What about scooters for the elderly? In fact, it is to meet the characteristics of the elderly and to be a vehicle specially suitable for the elderly.
I have shared some leisure electric tricycles with everyone before. A friend pointed out that this is not a scooter for the elderly at all because it has no protection from wind and rain. Who said a scooter for the elderly doesn’t count if it can’t provide shelter from the wind and rain? It seems that all electric three-wheelers without two-wheeled electric vehicles and without canopies have become garbage? Not suitable for transportation? This is a misunderstanding. Just like there are ordinary cars and luxury cars, they are all cars. The same goes for scooters for the elderly. There are convertible ones, which are cheaper, and there are covered ones, which are more expensive. Moreover, covered electric tricycles are generally classified as electric motorcycles and require a driver's license D. According to existing national policies, elderly people over 60 years old cannot obtain a driver's license, so they cannot be used by the elderly at all. (Strictly speaking, this is true). When many people see the vehicles I share, the first thing they say is that those that do not meet national standards and cannot be registered on the road are garbage. However, all vehicles that are not garbage must have a driver's license, and three-wheeled motorcycles must D license, are you qualified to drive? At present, almost all four-wheeled low-speed electric vehicles cannot be registered. You have to be able to drive on the road legally and be able to use it yourself. To be honest, based on the current national policies, you only have a few choices. .
If you want to be able to hit the road legally, according to existing national policies, there are only a few options available to the elderly.
The first one is the bicycle. This vehicle has been used as a scooter for decades. It has no restrictions and can also be used by the elderly.
The second one is electric bicycles and scooters. This is a scooter that meets the new national standards. It is also a very good choice for the elderly and does not require a driver's license.
The third one is a car, because according to the new policy, cars allow people over 70 years old to obtain a driver's license. As long as you meet the physical requirements and can obtain a driver's license, then this kind of covered vehicle is the vehicle that can meet your needs, and It is a model that you can legally drive on the road.
For those who want to be on the road legally but are unwilling to obtain a driver's license, at least according to national regulations, you are not qualified to drive. Since you have chosen to use a vehicle that is legal on the road, you must also be legally qualified to drive the vehicle. This is unavoidable. Unless you continue to use the Laotou Le model, of course, there are risks involved. This is an irreconcilable contradiction. At least according to the current policy situation, for the elderly, it is really either a legal choice to hit the road. For car use, or choose non-standard Laotoule to take risks, there is indeed no solution for the time being.
There are also some people who are dissatisfied with the speed of scooters for the elderly. They think 40 is too slow. In fact, for this kind of people.What he needs is not a scooter for the elderly at all. Cars are vehicles that are more suitable for them. Scooters for the elderly are mainly aimed at the elderly. Of course, safety and reliability at low speeds are the goal. How can it be called a scooter for the elderly if it is too fast? Nowadays, the so-called low-speed electric passenger cars, to be honest, can't really be regarded as old-age scooters, but should directly belong to cars.
Although the national policy prohibits the old model of electric tricycles, many leisure tricycles are now launched, and there is no specific explanation. At least what we see so far is that many elderly people are using similar small electric tricycles. This type of vehicle is strictly prohibited. In fact, it should be classified as a vehicle that requires a driver's license F, but because its speed is indeed relatively low, with a speed below 20, it is really suitable for many elderly people to use as a means of transportation. Don’t be dissatisfied with the speed. To be honest, the electric bicycles used by young people can only reach a speed of about 22 kilometers per hour. When you get older, wouldn’t it be better to use a slower and safer speed?
I’m talking to you today, mainly because I saw a lot of messages from my friends and feel that there are many wrong views on scooters for the elderly. One is speed. For friends who need faster speed, it is recommended to choose a car directly instead of considering a scooter for the elderly. For those who want to have a carport but cannot have a driver's license, you can only give up this option. This is the reality. Since you choose a vehicle that must be legal on the road, you have to make sure that your driving must be legal, otherwise the legality of the vehicle will be a joke.
