"What's the difference between an E-Assisted Bicycle and a
E-Bike?

"Electric assisted bicycles, or e-bikes, use human power as the primary means of transportation and electricity as the secondary means of transportation, and need to be pedaled in order to move forward, whereas e-bikes rely entirely on electricity. When the e-bike reaches a speed of 25 kilometers per hour, the pedaling power does not stop due to the limitations of the controller program. This design not only enjoys speed, but also saves energy and extends battery life.

Will you be fined for not having a roadworthy flash badge?

The yellow flash badge is the standard for the roadworthiness of electric vehicles. When delivering the vehicle, please make sure that the flash badge is completely attached to the vehicle frame. If you find that the badge is damaged or detached, please notify the relevant personnel immediately and do not accept the delivery of the vehicle. If the badge is found to be missing or damaged after delivery, it cannot be replaced. If you drive on the road without a flash badge, you may be fined and have your car impounded.

Do you need a driver's license to drive an electric scooter?

No need. Electric-assisted bicycles are exempt from driver's license, license plate, and tax, and can be used directly on the road as long as you own the vehicle. However, all vehicles need to be inspected and have the required yellow flashing decal affixed.
