Electric vehicles are no strangers in public life. They bear the important task of short-distance travel. Generally, the most common ones are two-wheeled electric vehicles, including electric bicycles, electric motorcycles and electric mopeds . What we are going to talk about today The protagonists are not these, but electric tricycles and low-speed four-wheelers that are biased towards elderly users. At present, various places are strengthening the management of these two types of vehicles, and the road requirements are also increasing day by day. So what are the specific road requirements? And is a driver's license necessary? Let’s talk about this with you below!
Some requirements for electric tricycles on the road
The status of electric tricycles in electric vehicles cannot be ignored. Although it is not as widely used as electric two-wheelers , tricycles are indispensable in towns and rural areas. They can be used during busy farming periods. They are used to carry goods and can be used to transport people during slack periods. There are often many electric tricycles parked at the entrance of primary schools in some rural areas to pick up children. For urban areas, the reason why tricycles are rare is mainly because of local restrictions on them, and some road requirements have been formulated to regulate electric tricycles.
At present, the requirements for electric tricycles are different in different places, and the requirements in urban and rural areas are also different, but we can still summarize a few typical ones. First, electric tricycles need to carry a motor vehicle license plate before they can legally drive on the road; second, electric tricycles need to drive on motor vehicle lanes; third, open cargo tricycles are not allowed to carry people, and the driver must wear a safety helmet.
The above three are the most common requirements for electric tricycles on the road, but it is worth mentioning that in the core areas of some first-tier cities, there are also regulations prohibiting driving on the road, usually in designated areas and designated times, such as Hebei Electric tricycles are prohibited on the road within the Third Ring Road of Shijiazhuang.
Can low-speed four-wheel vehicles be legal on the road?
Low-speed four-wheeled vehicles are the second type of electric vehicles favored by the elderly. Therefore, this type of vehicle is also known as " elderly scooter ", "Old Man Le", etc. Since it has suddenly emerged in recent years, it is not There are no specific management methods to restrict it. Simply put, there are no requirements for driving low-speed four-wheelers. No license plate or driver's license is required. As long as you have a car, you can drive. This is the key factor that makes it a scooter for the elderly and the main reason why it is "targeted".
To put it bluntly, a low-speed four-wheeled vehicle is a modification of an ordinary electric tricycle. Except for the four wheels and the operation method, it is not much different from the three-wheeled caravan, but it is a four-wheeled vehicle after all. If it is a zero-threshold road vehicle, it will There will be great risks, and traffic accidents will occur in endlessly. Therefore, the current situation of low-speed four-wheel vehicles is very delicate. In big cities, they are basically prohibited from being driven on the road, even if they have a driving license. However, in rural areas, they are basically ignored. Therefore, the only remaining market for such vehicles is in rural areas.
In the final analysis, the main reason why low-speed four-wheelers are banned is because there are no national manufacturing standards, so the requirements for being on the road are ambiguous and have never been unified. According to news, a new national standard will be introduced at the end of this year. Low-speed four-wheel vehicles will be similar to new energy vehicles. They will require a license plate and a driver's license. Do you think they are still suitable for the elderly?
Is it necessary to get a driver’s license to ride an electric bike?
The need for a driver's license for electric vehicles has always been a topic. Some people think that it is not necessary at all, because the original intention of choosing electric vehicles is convenience and to improve travel efficiency, and the operation of electric vehicles is far less difficult than that of fuel vehicles, even if it is a three-wheeler. The same goes for wheels and four-wheelers, so it is basically impossible to universalize driver's licenses. But some people think that a driver's license is necessary for electric vehicles, especially three-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles, because these two types of vehicles are larger in size, and more elderly people drive them. If you don't have the constraints of a driver's license, you can drive on the motorway. Behaviors such as changing lanes at will and running red lights will occur frequently and are extremely risky.
Kankan believes that both support and opposition are justified. The original intention of the driver's license is not to embarrass car owners, but to use strong means to make drivers comply with traffic regulations. Although electric vehicles are powered by electricity, they are still a form of transportation on the road. Tools, especially three-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles, it is necessary for drivers to comply with traffic regulations. Therefore, the current driver's license may be the best choice for electric vehicle drivers to comply with traffic regulations.
Of course, operations such as "spray coding" and "filing" currently implemented in some areas are also feasible. Replacing driver's licenses and license plates with registration may be more in line with public sentiment.
talks about
Electric tricycles and four-wheelers will not be banned in the future. Not only that, they will develop better, but the premise is to have a complete management system. If they are just doing it casually now, then The future of scooters for the elderly is hard to say.
