#4 Re: Chinese rules on motorcycle transport
04-07-2016, 08:58 AM
OP, you'd just need to make sure/ascertain that any van you consider is classed as a passenger vehicle. If it has rear seats fitted as standard and is registered as such (therefore as a passenger van) then you should face less restrictions than if the van were to categorised as a commercial vehicle. Commercial vans, pickup trucks/utes face a number of restrictions such as being restricted to the left lanes on some expressways, restrictions to roadways/bridges in cities/towns, or complete bans from the same.
If the van comes complete with rear seats which would take up valuable rear real estate for hauling bikes, then you could look to have a reputable/skilled fabricator (good luck finding one in the middle kingdo0m) make and fit seats that hinge from the inner side walls of the van that fold up/down as needed and alter the seat/safety belts as needed. This would allow for the van to still comply with its registration and licensing. If you remove the seats entirely and do not have these fitted then the van would not comply with the registration - which could be a problem if you are stopped at some point/place for some inspection or some such. Just saying...
