    If you mean the Expressway then the answer is... yes and no. Motorcycles are banned from many Expressways - but not all. Secondly, Expressways that allow motorcycles, forbid the carriage of a pillion/passenger.

    BTW aside from the Jetmax, CFMoto also make a Jetlux - same engine and tranny as the Jetmax. Don't be fooled by the '300' stickers on the side of the Jetlux... they're not 300cc... same 250cc engine as the Jetmax. The Jetlux has many nice features IMO when comapred to the Jetmax, sleeker styling (more European IMO), dual opening seat, nicer instrument panel, front tupperware side 'pockets', better looking lighting up front (projector lamp). However the Jetlux has 13" wheels, is lower to the ground, less frontal area so more prone to weather exposure, less depth to underseat stowage, lower screen, rear pillion seat hinge means fabricating a rack for a top box is problematic. Still it's worth looking at the Jetlux.

    There's also the Benelli Silverblade 250cc scooter. I know two guys who own them, and they've both had trouble(s) with a capital 'S'.

    Coming from Tianjin u can enter the JingJin Express at WuQing tall booth going to Beijing.
    On the way back no problem to enter in BJ area.
    Until now I had never trouble by riding with passengers on express way.

    Hello, could someone explain to me what it does mean: "Electronically controlled pillion step"
    I am looking on the internet but I can't find it.
    Thanks in advance

    ^ refers to the pillion foot rests being electronically controlled. Press a button and the pillion foot rests, fold out.

    Thanks for the prompt reply, you always so kind.
    "Press a button" where is this button? do you have a pic?
    Unfortunately I should get it today.... but the shop delayed me until monday, because of license plate issue.
    Thanks again
