Regarding the origin of the old scooter, the earliest can be traced back to the nineties of the last century agricultural tricycle and disabled motorcycles, different regions of this type of model nicknames are also different, Beijing people call it "three jumpers", Tianjin people call it "dog riding rabbit", Nanjing people call it "Mazda".
The earliest appearance of the old scooter is a medical device, the speed is basically controlled below 5-10 kilometers per hour, with low speed, brakes, safe and reliable, convenient as the standard, can not be driven on the motorway. In the early days, the speed of the old scooters was controlled at 5-10 km/h, and now there are a large number of old-age scooters that weigh more than 40 kg at speeds of more than 20 km/h. It can be clearly seen that the old scooter is not a non-motor vehicle, but an illegal motor vehicle.
Starting in January 2024, many cities, including Beijing, have officially begun to ban low-speed electric vehicles, commonly known as "old man music", from the road.
In fact, Beijing issued a notice as early as 2021 to completely ban the production and sale of illegal electric vehicles.
3. Four-wheeled vehicles, and it is forbidden to park on the road or in public places. The management department is well aware that the ban on the road overnight may cause inconvenience to the public, so it has given a transition period of more than 2 years. Until January 1 this year, it will be illegal to drive such vehicles on the road again. And it should be noted that the regulations not only prohibit electric old man music, even if it is a fuel vehicle, it is also strictly forbidden to go on the road if it does not meet the regulations.
From April 30, 2024, "Old Man Music" will be banned from the road, Hefei is clear, and the elderly should pay attention.
According to Hefei's "Notice on Strengthening the Management of Illegal Electric Three-wheeled and Four-Wheeled Vehicles", illegal electric vehicles with temporary license plates.
3. The transition period for four-wheeled vehicles will expire on April 30, 2024, and it is forbidden to drive on the road after the transition period ends, and at the same time, it is not allowed to park illegally.
The temporary license plate set by Hefei for illegal electric three- and four-wheeled vehicles is in the state of "black on a yellow background", with two "temporary" words printed on the license plate, and the date of the transition period (valid until April 30, 2024) is indicated on the license plate.
Not long ago, Mr. Wang in Henan spent more than 20,000 yuan to buy an oversized electric car called "Porsche 918", he took a fancy to the anchor and said that he could go on the road without a driver's license, and he placed an order on the cheap, but as soon as he got on the road, he was caught by the traffic police. And there are not a few similar things.
Open the old man music will not directly revoke the driver's license, fines are indispensable, whether to deduct points or not may depend on the regulations of various places, after all, now the regulations of each city for the old man music are not the same, it is recommended that you have a driver's license as much as possible to drive on the road.
When it comes to old man music, I have to say Reading Motors, which is the father of old man music.
In 2008, Reading Motors was founded, followed by the smash hit "Old Man Music". This kind of three-wheeled or four-wheeled electric vehicle is very simple to operate, and it does not require a driver's license, and it is also within the acceptable range of everyone, so it quickly became popular all over the country. And Reading has also become a big overlord of the old man's music.
It is reported that from 2016 to 2018, it sold 150,000 units, 210,000 units and 28With an annual sales volume of 70,000 units, it has won the top sales of low-speed trams for three consecutive years. Among them, the sales in 2018 exceeded the 12 billion mark, which can be called the existence of the king. But this good scenery only lasted for 3 years.
Because the production quality and traffic safety of the old man music cannot be guaranteed. For example, in terms of traffic safety, from 2013 to 2018, there were more than 800,000 traffic accidents caused by Lao Toule, with an average of nearly 380 per day, and the ** rate is extremely high.
Therefore, in November 2018, the relevant state departments issued relevant management notices to clean up and rectify Laotoule and limit its production capacity.
With the intensification of regulation, the market demand for low-speed electric vehicles has dropped sharply, and Reading has no choice but to choose. In 2022, Reading car sales will fall off a cliff**, and only 196 units will be sold in October, which is a blow to Li Guoxin.
The founder ran away after burning 20 billion, and the era of Reading was completely over, but who would have thought that it only took a few years for this company to go from glory to end.
As an old man, Reading Automobile is basically cool now, and I believe that Old Man Le will slowly withdraw from the market with the release of regulations.
