Have you got it now? You need driving license and motor bike license.

Do not try to buy secondhand bikes, you will be cheated as a foreigner.

SetthaLee has posted an article which may be a help, named " A guide on motorcycle license and plates in Beijing"

Or you may reach me for detailed help.

i have to disagree...

..i think the original poster must be from Canada/America or somewhere like that where we are legally allowed to drive scooters under 50cc's without a license..although they do still have to be licensed/registered..but dont assume because you can do it in America you can do it here..check into all the Chinese laws regarding vehicles and follow them.

..and I think what nugaze said would've been more appropriate 5 years ago..these days the police do set-up regular check-stops to catch motorcyclists without licenses, registration, etc...and confiscate the vehicle on the spot. I know a lot of foreigners who've got in trouble for this over the last few years..this ain't old beijing anymore...dont think the cops will leave you alone because of your blonde hair and blue eyes..in today's beijing that just draws extra unwanted attention. Why do you think so many foreiners now drive electric scooters compared to us all driving gas-powered bikes 5 years ago? Cause electric bikes dont require any licenses/registration and the police ARE getting way tougher.

~ Although I feel super-old just for writing something like this (I'm 32 and consider myself to be much less mature lol), I don't think it's very responsible to give an underage foreigner advise to break Chinese laws and put himself and others at risk of a vehicle accident possibly causing death or worse horrible disfigurement that prevents him from getting laid ever again! YOU READ ME??? if you wanna continue pursuing young Chinese pu$$y then dont kill yourself on an illegal bike!

i already told him the correct answer to his question: an electric bike. then the thread turned into an ad, people trying to make cash out of him and others. i dont give advice to anyone. you so called 'professional' bikers are like a bunch of old women. why dont you sell the bike and buy a volvo. thats good advice from som1 that doeznt giv advice

That goes without saying in any country. We all know that. If somebody doesn't want to obey the rules, neither you nor I is going to stop them. I don't break rules, I stop at red lights. But 90 percent of bikers don't. The consequences of that are as you can imagine, these are not normal driving conditions.

But I think you've heard the saying, "when in Rome..."

I've met a lot of middle aged very bad drivers.

Maybe giving practical advice like watch out for huge potholes, cars that suddenly pull out, cars that suddenly stop in the middle of the road etc.

Right, which explains why most Chinese drivers are so horrible. Although they may be middle-aged they've probably been driving for 5 years or less.. An entire city of 5 million new drivers!

Doesn't matter if they have been only driving 5 years. After they have drivedn for ten years they will drive even worse.

The problem is they do not get any feedback. If u drive for ten years and have never received a traffic violation and then suddenly get two in one week, do u think your driving skills were great for ten years and then suddenly declined? No. They gradually declined but you did not realize it because you received no feedback. (A ticket)

If the BJ police stopped eveyone for evey violation, YES it would be a mess for awhile, but after one year we would have some drivers who followed the laws, were polite, and didnt cause self inflicted traffic jams due to their attitude that their time is more importatn than anyone else's.

Go figure, Tokyo has a higher quantity of cars on the road and half the traffic jams as BJ, because the people drive according to the law.

Give these China drivers feedback (Traffic violation tickets and a fine) for every rule they break without exception, and in one year this place has more cars and less traffic jams, not to mention the police have a nice positive cash flow.

Yes, I agree with you. Compared to secondary and tertuary tier cities, they are more civilzed here and safer. Also driving is safer in Beijing. Try driving in a village and you will come across people who have never been in a vehicle so they have no idea on how long it takes to stop and think the vehicle can just stop on a dime at any speed. Really drive defensively in this case.

But my point was the self-induced traffic jams.

Also, I think u were very lucky with your unfortunate bus incident. According to Chinese law, if there is a collision between two vehicles and one tries to avoid judgement by fleeing, the other vehicle should remain in the original position and not chase the other, but report to the police and get the license if lucky enough. If you chase, they can easily say you fled the incident scene also.

Happy, defensive driving in BJ. I am accustomed to it. I drive a black Merceds and a new Harley Davidson motorcyle here. I am fully legal with driver license, went through the motorcycle course, etc. And I follow the laws, even though laowais do not normally get pulled over on bikes and if they do, nothing really happens. But I wanted the peace of mind, so I had to pay allot of rmb for an original A Jing motorcycle plate which BJ does not even issue anymore. (Most have fake (jia de) plates from Hebei. But even BJ has their price and half the money went under the table.
But I am happy about it because I am fully legal, not breakig any laws in China, and have my peace of mind when I pull up next to an officer at a red light.

That goes without saying in any country. We all know that. If someone doesn t want to comply with the rules, and not to kill. I am a ' break the rules, the red indicator light, don must stop. 90% of bikers don but 't. consequences of that are you can imagine, these are not, in normal driving conditions.
