    According to the online edition of China Daily, Shanghai e-bike operators will be required to have an e-bike driving license from March 2014. Further, licensed operators must by at least 16 years old and not operate at speeds greater than 15 km/h. There are an estimated 14 million e-bikes in Shanghai.

    Generously assuming 4 months (120 days) between now and then, approximately 117,000 "students" will have to be issued licenses each day (weekends & holidays included). Assuming a work day of 8 hours, that is 14,600 students/hour ... or 240 a minute ... or 4 every second.

    Interesting new policy.
