It is indeed one of the most convenient ways to get around China’s big cities – electric bicycles are all the rage these days.

In many cities in China, regulations require users to register their electric bicycles and to get a license plate. In this article, we’ll show you step-by-step how to do this, so that you don’t end up getting any hefty fines.

How to register your electric bicycle in China

Within 15 days of purchase, users should take their bicycle and relevant documents to the transportation department of the nearest public security bureau (PSB). Anyone who plans to use the electric bicycles in question must register in person with a valid passport.

In Shanghai, users must bring a fapiao showing the purchase of the bicycle, a warranty registration form, the certificate of manufacture and any other documents required by the local PSB.

Note that different PSBs may have slightly different rules depending on where in China you want to register an electric bicycle. Be sure to double check requirements in your local area in advance.
