From a google search it appears it is available in English.

The 90 day visa isn't a problem, just means need wait a month. Might as well go in to the school anyway and pay for some exam prep/study materials and just take it slow.

Are there any 250cc legal bikes here that have a higher seat height than the ys250? Specs say 800mm, aren't most bikes very similar in seat height to that despite engine displacement? There's confidence from being able to put my feet flat on the ground, but i dread not just being crouched up on it but looking like a giant on a tiny bike ;)

PS Anyone know of a book/source either online or offline that has the motorbike exam bank of questions? Google isn't helping.
Ive been to that school, you'll need a proper resident permit that is given to you in shanghai, it's the one where they put it in your passport. If you hold a student visa or work visa then you can get one or any other visa that gives you full residency unlike the tourist or business visas that just get your temporary one.

As I say, I've been to the school and wore that shitty T-shirt, they're the typical idiots who don't know anything and no you can't do the test in English. So if you have the above residency permit and you're good at memorising, get studying. If you don't have the above residency permit then don't waste your time. I spent the majority of 4 hours messing about with health checks to be told I can't do it.
