Hi all, this is my first post.

I have a gas-powered Geely Da Gui Wang scooter, purchased October 2009, papers and compliance plate states engine capacity at 49.6cc.

I live within the Inner Ring Road of Shanghai (in Changning district).

Can I get blue plates for this bike? What about 3rd party insurance? How much will the plates cost, and how do I apply for them?

I have read elsewhere that the Shanghai Traffic Bureau is no longer issuing any plates for gas scooters/bikes within the Inner Ring Road. True? If so, could I get the scooter registered under my girlfriend's name? (She lives in Baoshan, outside the inner ring road).

Greatly appreciate any help.
