When purchasing our electric tricycles, customers often inquire about license requirements. Here we clarify the licensing issues for electric tricycles.
Three Global Management Categories for Electric Tricycles
1. Mandatory License Category (e.g., select EU countries)
Motor power >500W or speed >25km/h requires a motorcycle license.
Example: Italy requires an AM-category license.
2. Registration-Based (Mainstream Policy in Mexico)
Mexico City regulation: Cargo tricycles require a municipal operating permit (no car license needed).
Special Requirement: Commercial vehicles must purchase third-party liability insurance.
3. Full Exemption (Current System in Cuba)
Vehicles with battery voltage ≤48V and self-weight ≤300kg are classified as non-motorized vehicles.
Exception: Sightseeing vehicles in tourist zones require an operating license.

Three Key Recommendations for Vehicle Selection
1. Power Threshold Trap: For exports to Mexico, limit motor power to ≤800W (to avoid license upgrade requirements).
2. Documentation Chain Service: We provide a “Regulatory Package” (including local certification document templates + legal consultation access).
3. After-Sales Compliance Assurance: Complimentary Spanish-language electronic handbook “Legal Guide for Vehicle Use” provided.
