Question:

Is the electric bicycle a motor vehicle? What is the criterion?

Friends say, "Gao Fa" has a relevant explanation - probably to say that more than 50 kilometers per hour is motor vehicles. However, the source has not been found.

Answer:

Common electric vehicle and electric motorcycle etc. exceed the standard "the maximum design speed of electric bicycle" are more than 20 kilometers per hour, according to the provisions of the "technical conditions" safe operation of motor vehicles, no matter what kind of driving mode,
The utility model relates to an electric bicycle, belonging to a non motor vehicle, belonging to a power assisted vehicle, and not belonging to a motor vehicle"Road traffic safety law" 119th paragraph fourth: non motor vehicles refers to the human or animal driven vehicles on the roads, as well as though power driven design maximum speed, empty quality dimensions, with motor wheelchairs for the disabled and the relevant national standards for electric bicycles and other means of transport.
As long as its technical parameters listed above the maximum design speed of more than 20km/h, can be identified as Mopeds; the highest design speed of more than 50km/h, can be identified as motorcycles. Therefore, this part of the vehicle does not belong to non motor vehicles, but belongs to the motor vehicle.
