Jongeren rijden massaal rond in electrische rolstoelen... Wat is er aan de hand?
3 jaar lang Covid restricties en lockdowns hebben ervoor gezorgd dat lokale overheden geen geld hebben en politieagenten hebben de opdracht gekregen om voor inkomsten te zorgen door iedereen een boete aan te smeren.
En dat doen ze vooral door mensen op een e-bike te naaien. Geen rij of kenteken bewijs? Dat is dan 70 yuan.
Ook is het opgevallen dat bij geparkeerde e-bikes het kenteken door 'onbekenden' is beschadigd waarna de bestuurders bij een controle de klos zijn...
Voor electrische rolstoelen is er nog geen regelgeving (zoals kentekens) dus jongeren kopen nu massaal rolstoelen om aan de boetes te ontkomen

De overheid wil consumptie stimuleren door strenge restricties op ebikes en motors op te leggen zodat mensen gedwongen worden geld uit te geven aan een EV.

9.15 om mensen verder te 'pesten' worden aangepaste ebikes in beslag genomen. Iemand had achteruit kijk spiegels gemonteerd en snachts werd z'n slot doorgezaagd en z'n fiets meegenomen, want aanpassing.
Maar ook aanpassingen zoals een food delivery box aan de voor en achterkant van de fiets en een telefoonhouder aan het stuur.

Nowadays, young Chinese people, whether they like it or not, have chosen to move closer to the state of "the four emptinesses." According to the current trend, young people don't need to buy cars and electric bicycles. Instead, they can just buy electric wheelchairs.
The future looks great for young people who get into wheelchairs in advance. To borrow the title of a Chinese media report, young people driving electric wheelchairs now is to save them thirty years of detours.
The CCP may not have imagined that such a bizarre scenario would happen under its rule. - 62

https://www.straitstimes.(...)s-face-tighter-rulesYoung people in Guangzhou commute in electric wheelchairs as e-bikes face tighter rulesThe use of electric wheelchairs reportedly caused a backlash for some in China, as they are worried about road safety.
With the local government introducing new regulations on e-bikes, some young people in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou have turned to an unusual mode of transportation - electric wheelchairs.
They reportedly said that electric wheelchairs are not subjected to any traffic rules. In contrast, riding an e-bike is restricted in many areas, and driving a car often resulted in them being stuck in traffic.
The electric wheelchair "saves effort and is flexible, and you can 'drive' directly to your destination without having to find a parking space", said an unidentified young person in a report by Hong Kong media outlet HK01 last week.
E-bikes are among the vehicles that came under tighter regulations recently. Some of the regulations include restricting the speed of e-bikes and the requirement to dismount and push the bike when crossing a zebra crossing, according to news reports.
The transportation department reportedly said that only motorised wheelchairs for the disabled - which use petrol as fuel - are bound by traffic regulations and require registration.
Electric wheelchairs, which are not a transportation option, will not be regulated in the same way as motorised and non-motorised vehicles, said HK01.
The use of electric wheelchairs for commuting by healthy young people has reportedly sparked a backlash from some in China due to safety reasons.
One netizen wrote on Chinese social media platform Weibo: "Electric wheelchairs are still a bit less safe on the road."
Others are more light-hearted about this new trend.
"Young people do know how to play, it looks quite convenient," another netizen wrote on Weibo.
Some lawyers in China reportedly said that although the action is not illegal, the use of electric wheelchairs by healthy people raises moral concerns.
Reports said data from e-commerce platforms showed that there has been a surge in demand for electric wheelchairs.
In the first half of 2023, there has been a 60 per cent increase in the sales of electric wheelchairs, with those costing 3,000 yuan (S$560) being the most popular.
