Shanghai 户A blue plate for sale.

**Shanghaifingers** · 07-06-2012, 03:12 PM

I am looking to sell my 户A blue plate. Its is a real plate designated for bikes 100cc or UNDER.

Asking price is 35,000 rmb, which includes tranfer costs. I am looking to transfer ownership not just let someone use it. I have a shop on standby to assist.

A blue A plate is good for most scooter and small bikes. It is off my Sachs Madass (dont ask), which the engine has finally given up the ghost, and I just don't feel like rebuilding it

PM if interested....

Interesting - it seems the Shanghai Blues are about the same price premium ratio over Beijing, as the Yellows. In Beijing, a Blue is about 10K, but only good on <50cc bikes. I wish we also had the <100cc here.

A blue-plated-scoot for in-city errands is perfect. Can't be beat!

Good luck. This is probably a rare bird.

isn't the life span of blue plates limited to 8 years only?
my blue Shanghai "C" plates on two Z50 Monkey-Bikes (50cc) got cancelled after 8 years, correct me if I am wrong and a different life span applies to Shanghai "A" blue plates.....

Yes TB, blue plates Only last 8 years. But when you legal sell your plate and transfer the ownership the new owner gets another 8 years just like the Yellow plates. Hence the desire to transfer ownership verses allowing someone to just use the Plates under my name.

Just to be clear the bike which these plates are currently on will "scraped" so that plates can be legally sold to the new buyer. It is the same process as the yellow plates. However as Lao Jia hou mentioned these as not so common place anymore and it is really the best plates for riding in the city. Street marked no bike DO NOT apply to blue plates and blue plates are legally allowed in the bicycle lanes. In fact I rarely drove on the main road outside of the bicycle lane for safety believe or not.

Interesting as we were told that after 8 years the plates can not be sold on and transferred, this happened last years September and this year February, both 50cc Z50 bikes registered in Minhang district. Still got another 50cc Z50 (blue "C" plate / Minhang district rego) expiring next month and shall check into sales and transfer once again.
