Reviving an old thread for an update! So since the Shanghai ban in 2016, frankly not much happened. I've spent the last month or two commuting to work in Shanghai on my EUC, including bringing it on the metro. Noone cares. 

However, two things may change that. Firstly, a new ban has come into Beijing - thx @z3n for the news update

Some latest articles about Beijing's new traffic regulations. Couldn't find any about Shanghai yet though. Hope Shanghai doesn't follow. :facepalm:

And the China premier is visiting Shanghai this weekend and I'm told there is news on a traffic regulation crackdown. 

If anyone has anymore news about what may be happening in Shanghai either imminently or in the future, please do post!

Local government officials need GDP to boost their scores for promotion. They want people to buy cars, insurance, pay car taxes. Too many officials needs these taxes to live. Let cars pollute, let cars kill people. Who cares about the end of cheap oils. Let us speed up to that end. Damn those EUCs. They are for proletarians. Damn those e-scooters, they are for the low end people.
