In January 2026, the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security issued a notice on optimizing the management of driving licenses for electric motorcycles and electric tricycles, introducing convenient measures for the management of driving licenses for two - and three wheeled electric vehicles with motor vehicle attributes. Core policy: ① Simplification of exams: The F certificate (lightweight electric motorcycle/tricycle) and D/E certificate (ordinary electric motorcycle/tricycle) exams will cancel complex road test items, retain theoretical exams and basic skill tests, shorten exam duration by 50%, and improve pass rates; ② Convenient service: Set up "mobile vehicle management offices" in rural areas to handle driver's license application and verification at home; Elderly people over 60 years old are exempt from making appointments and have priority in taking the driver's license exam. Free medical examinations and full guidance services are provided; ③ Cost reduction: Driver's license production and examination fees have been comprehensively reduced, with a total F license fee of ≤ 100 yuan and a D/E license fee of ≤ 200 yuan. In some areas, rural users and low-income households can apply for free; ④ Clear driving permit: Electric tricycles require a D license, light electric motorcycles require an F license, and ordinary electric motorcycles require an E license. It is strictly prohibited to drive without a license or with a license that does not comply. Violators will be fined 200-2000 yuan, and those with serious circumstances will be detained for 15 days. The notice emphasizes the combination of strict management and convenience in driver's license management, which not only ensures road safety, but also solves the problems of difficult certification, high costs, and complicated processes for car owners, and promotes the popularization of compliant cycling.
