I know I know...
But anyway I want to buy a gas scooter (with fake plates?) and I want to ask for advice
1) where to buy,
2) where to drive,
3) how to fill gas
And any other useful info.
I was considering an e-scooter but it sucks to always worry about the battery and I need to look for apartment now so will have to drive a lot
thanks
Your original e-scooter idea was better. Simply buy one with a HUGE electric motor and claim that the previous laowei owner sold it to you as being a 'legally compliant 200W bike', and you had no idea. :thumbsup:Quote:

These days ebikes can rival gas motors especially if you are riding under a 50km range. Don't worry about an ebike battery, simply remove it, take it home and charge it.
If you really want to leave the city and explore on a bike then that's a different scenario.

You mean to buy new one or used one? If I buy new one, how can I claim anything, the fapiao is thereQuote:

OK may be
anyway if someone can answer my questions you are welcome
Reckon ya'll fit right in with the current MCM crowd using fake docs and dodgy engines.Quote:

Because ebikes suck, 50km range on 30km/h? Fucking joke. And no need to scaremonger here. "They" are NOT "coming for me", "they" just take 200 kuai and let go because "they" know it is impossible to follow law in China. Show me one laowai who paid 5000 fine or went to prison for this
???????

Kozynak,
You can be put in a detention center for 15 days if you are caught riding without proper documents. Will that ever happen? Who knows....
You can forget the idea that Laowai are something special in China, that was like 15 years ago....
If you hit someone they WILL make you pay unless you run, if you run and you are caught they will shit on you. If someone is in an accident this is the Chinese lotto winner scenario mentality and without insurance they may well come back time and time again forcing you to payout again and again, could cost you 10,000 minimum a shot and how sick you'll feel when it was caused most likely by them running into the road without looking, many foreigners on and off these boards have been forced to pay.
Not all ebikes are equal, most have small motors, but you can find ones with illegally big motors, my next bike may be a Zero SR (although an SR would need to be plated as it's too obviously something special), which is as power as my current 650cc twin. If you have an accident on an ebike one it's better because the lazy cops will have to PROVE that you have a big motor in it, as most ebikes don't need insurance you are much less likely to be dragged over the coals and you can plead ignorance. If I lived in Shanghai I'd buy a stealth ebike that looked normal, but in fact had 10kw or more. Thing is on an illegal gas scooter you are always illegal, there is no debate and no possibility to plead innocent.
37999 for Zero SR?? Shanghai cops will just take away and you will be begging them.
And if they take away my 1500 kuai scooter fuck it
next time you post advice something realistic will you. I am looking for something cheap for 70km range
I said the Zero SR would need to be plated, and is just an example of a powerful ebike, not as you seem to think every ebike has 300 watts and goes 30km/h. Just as you can buy shitty Chinese electric cars or a Tesla.Quote:

why did i remove my last post?
shit this is a open THREAD
IMO you are just brain dead and how can people advise you?
But i hope you can still read this .....
