To circumvent new regulations on e-bikes, young people in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou have turned to an unusual mode of transportation: electric wheelchairs. Contributing to the recent trend is the fact that e-bikes are banned in many areas and motorists are often stuck in traffic jams, writes the Singapore newspaper Straits Times. In addition, this flexible vehicle saves effort and there is no need to look for a parking space for e-scooters, a practically minded young person is anonymously quoted as saying. Speed limits have recently been imposed for e-bikes. They are only allowed to be pushed over crosswalks. According to media reports, sales of electric wheelchairs increased by 60 percent in the first half of the year.
