Since Hong Kong implements “One Country, Two Systems”, Hong Kong has independent traffic laws. Electric bicycles are regarded as motorcycles in Hong Kong. Like cars, they must be approved by the Transportation Department before they can be imported. None of the electric bicycles in Hong Kong have passed the audit, so electric bicycles in Hong Kong are illegal. Even if the electric bicycle passes the review, the driver must still have a motorcycle driver’s license to get on the road. In addition, there is no so-called light locomotive moped in Hong Kong, and moped is also recognized as a locomotive.
