50 cc motorcycle / scooter license issue

Hello to everyone here (I'm new :)),

I've been trying to find some info on what kind of specifications apply to chinese bike licenses, but it's hard to find in-depth information on this. Apparently (?) there is some separate license for low-power motorcycles, is that correct, or am I supposed to have a normal license that comprises everything from 49-600+ cc? even for a small scooter?
I'm planning to buy a gas powered scooter or bike, as basic as possible, so low motorisation is fine, I just need some range and therefore an electric scooter/diandongche won't be enough.
I'm asking because in my CoO my car license allows me to ride small fuel driven bikes up to 50 cc and a 50 kmh curb (with some 50+ exceptions). I don't have a motorcycle license though, so I thought about trying to convince the people at the traffic management office to 'convert' my car(+50cc bike) license into a minor motorcycle license - if such a thing exists.
I only have two moths left in China until my visa expires (I know people might see this as a problem, too) and I'm not willing to spend time on doing a practical course here...i suppose a theoretical test would be necessary either way.

Do you have any ideas on this? Thank you!

Cheers ! :)

You are correct??? you need a Chinese Driving License category (F)

50cc的摩托车需不需要上牌照

专业回答
需要。50cc及以下摩托车属于轻便摩托车,需要上牌.需要驾驶证F证以上才能开.

That was stupid of me to post the detail in Chinese now you need to find 2 Chinese people.
1. To ask.
2. To Translate


:confused1:

Forgive me if I am wrong but don't we need 6 months on our visa to get the license?

Hey guys,
thanks a lot for your replies!
I am in China right now, Hubei Province. That chinese instruction is alright, it is exactly what I have been looking for, and I can read it :) although when it comes to speaking and I go to the traffic office next week, when it's too mafan for them and they don't want to communicate with me, then there is no way of course.
Well, every single chinese I've talked to about this didn't really have a clue about license types in particular either.
Mh yes, that's what I heard at least, so I am hoping that they do 'exceptions' for whatever reason. Or maybe there is an alternative solution.

Cheers!

double post - sorry
