This is a quote from someone from Zhuhai in Guangdong province, China (Zhuhai population 1.5million):
Just curious if anyone can confirm this? I'm seeing lots of fairly recent videos w/scooter-style vehicles on China streets:

...Most cities in China already ban e-bikes and motorcycles in the city. Here is Zhuhai, China (a small city by Chinese standards) they are banned. Of course that does not stop them even in the city center but it does reduce them greatly. Out side the city they are still allowed.
Keep in mind China has a 150 cc maximum limit on motorcycles. These are also banned with the e-bikes in the cities so the speed is not the reason. At first the reason given was the pollution from the motorcycles but then they included e-bikes.
There are huge e-bike and motorcycle impounds with hundreds of thousands of e-bikes and motorcycles that have been seized. Most get destroyed unless they were registered and a fine is paid. Of course most were never registered since they are banned.
