Congratulations on your success. You are correct - a C1E is only for passenger cars and 2-wheeled motorcycles. not sidecars. The sidecar license is commonly a C1D (which includes cars and 2-wheeled MCs).

The rules in Beijing, based on the Traffic Code, are that you need to hold the C1E classification for at least 12 months before you can upgrade to a C1D (requires new lessons & testing).

By the way, I confirmed with the Traffic Police this morning that the English version of the new exam is still not available in Beijing. No information on when it will become available. I would guess that Beijing/Shanghai will be the first couple of cities to implement the English version.
