    I've done the searches, without a clear result. I would like an answer and not a lecture about searches.

    If my paperwork shows 49cc engine, gasoline powered, which of the following do I need to stay out of trouble?

    1. Do I need a plate / blue plate? Will primarily be riding the bike lane in Shanghai.

    2. I have a China driver's license; do I need a China motorcycle license for 49cc?

    3. Do I need insurance on a 49cc scooter?

    Thank you for your reply

    real gasoline bike / scooter under 50cc (max. 49cc) = blue A / C / D / E plate in the past years depends on downtown or suburb riding (some Shanghai districts restrict small bike / scooter registration / license).
    mandatory insurance has to bought before or while the license plate will be issued.
    drivers license F / D / E should be fine, does a C1 car license covers below 50cc bikes / scooters now?


    got four "C" and "E" plates / rego on Honda Z50 (49cc) bikes out in Minhang and Qingpu districts and legally not allowed inside the inner ring-road (signs everywhere).

    So if the dealer is willing to get a blue plate from Suzhou for 1700 RMB . . . . . am I getting ripped off? What will a Shanghai blue plate cost? How does one purchase insurance?

    (and thanks for the reply)

    Shanghai -Qingpu District- blue plate = 1200RMB a couple of years ago.
    Shanghai -Minhang District- blue plate = 1000RMB some years ago.
    insurance, the usual suspects like PingAn, PICC, etc.
    -there are somewhat restrictions in place now with one motor-vehicle up to 49cc per Shanghai household registration-
