These tiny three-wheeled cars have become increasingly common in the last few years in Shanghai, but they also receive scorn. People in our xiaoqu complain they park in stupid places and block the road, or occupy parking spots for cars while they’re not paying any parking fees.
They’re named 残疾车 (vehicle for people with disabilities) but it seems as if any senior can drive this.
(I’m more disappointed they’re not electric, undoing some of the fantastic work China has done because 99.9% of scooters are electric now.)
