These are scooter photos from Shanghai, China. Very few gas scooters here.. very rare to see one.
There is also a way bigger percentage of scooters to bicycles here, unlike in Beijing. For example, here is the parking lot below the train station. Every scooter in this photo is electric:
Even the police scooters here are electric:
The police cars are also electric:
Here is a nice electric. I wish I had this one. I should buy a sea container of these for around $350 US each:
Here is another one:
And some more:
A nice gasser trike:
More electric scooters and a couple of bicycles. The ratio of scooters to bicycles in this photo is fairly typical in Shanghai:
This looks to be a Kymco gasoline scooter, or maybe a Yamaha as it has a Yamaha decal on the leg shield. I don't know the rules here and what kind of permission you need to operate a gas scooter on the city streets in Shanghai.
This final photo from Shanghai shows a few more electrics:
The next post will be from Taiwan. There are a hundred thousand and more scooters there, and mostly gasoline powered. Kymco, Yamaha, and Sym rule there, but no Honda and no Chinese mainland brands.. more around that in the post.
