Hi all! I recently bought a Vespa Replica Petrol bike and looking to get as legal as possible for driving round Shanghai… does anyone know if it’s possible to get legal plates for this bike? I asked shop keeper but he told me not possible… Problem now is they won’t let me buy petrol without plates, any ideas how to get round this? I’m also looking to get a motorbike driving license in case I get stopped by the cops, does anyone know if I can do this on a L (visit family) visa? The visa is from my wife’s hometown Jiangsu though we’re both living in Shanghai, can I pay someone to get the license for me or do I need to do a test? I have foreign car driving license, but no motorbike license.

Thanks a lot for any help.
