Electric motorcycles are motorcycles powered by electricity. Divided into electric two-wheeled motorcycles and electric three-wheeled motorcycles.
a. Electric two-wheeled motorcycle: a two-wheeled motorcycle with a maximum design speed greater than 50km/h driven by electricity.
b. Electric three-wheeled motorcycle: a three-wheeled motorcycle driven by electricity, with a maximum design speed of more than 50km/h and a curb weight of not more than 400kg.
Electric mopeds are mopeds powered by electricity and are divided into electric two-wheeled and three-wheeled mopeds.
a. Electric two-wheeled mopeds: two-wheeled motorcycles powered by electricity that meet one of the following conditions:
The maximum design speed is greater than 20km/h and not greater than 50km/h;
The curb weight of the whole vehicle is more than 40kg and the maximum design speed is not more than 50km/h.
