Legal bikes discovered post-C3 emissions rules

[euphonius]

...Euphonius, if I understand you correctly, you are also not 100% sure the registration of a 2nd hand C2 bike can be transferred to a new owner? That would have been my plan B but now I am unsure of what to do. Not sure if my Chinese is good enough to get some relaible info from some official source...

Dear Fahni,

I did not by any means intend to cast doubt on the idea of transferring ownership/registration of an existing and legal China2-compliant bike, but I just haven't heard of a specific case of this being done. My sense is that there is no reason why it would not be allowed, since those bikes have a legal document allowing them to be used in China until their mandatory scrapping date (强制报废期止). I'd just like to see some actual evidence in the wild!

Has anyone in this forum successfully transfered a pre-China3 bike to another owner since the China3 emission regulations came into effect?

cheers!
