meepmeepmayer Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 You can't sell overpriced 2-ton SUVs and build an electric car market if nobody wants to buy cars any longer when <$1000 electric ridables are better than $50000+ cars for moving around in the city. Better make sure electric ridables are crippled and made less practical than a regular old bicycle! So bend over and open your wallet A lot of people want to force you to give them your money. Car industry, insurances, oil, you name it. Can't just have PEVs ruining all that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziiten Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 But I thought China was committed to the electric transportation, cars, bicycles and why not unicycles. Especially with all the smog problems. I dont think eucs are cutting into the car market. I use my euc as a last mile for my e-car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Think less of EUCs and more of scooters. People using scooters may reduce the number of cars they buy a lot, see the craze about the scooter rental companies in the U.S. (Lime etc.). Everyone living in a city can live without a car with a scooter, that wasn't really practical before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might face fines and confiscation. Please CMIIW. Got any references to this? I know everything was banned 2 years ago but isn't being enforced. Right now there is no practical issue but a major traffic crack down is planned in Shanghai from this weekend due to VIP visitors. If ever enforcement will happen，this coming week is it! For that reason, I'm waiting to clear past next week before upgrading. (also hoping to get 11/11 discount) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't find any about Shanghai yet though. Hope Shanghai doesn't follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
