Most of what World Moto has said in it's PR's has been false information.

Despite it being illegal for motorbikes to offer a taxi service to the public-based on Chinese traffic regulations, the motorbike taxi business in town is booming

If you search for motorbikes or motorcycle taxis in China it's hard to find anything that is less than 5 years old.

When I was there in May I was with 8 other people. The Chinese are very strict about a 4 person limit per taxi which left us always needing 3 taxis. Hardly anyone in China speaks English. To get around in any of the cities I was in I had to have someone from my hotel write down the name of where I wanted to go on 3 separate pieces of paper as well as carry the name and address of my hotel in order for us to get back. We used these for the taxi drivers. Once we got to where we were going we literally ended up walking 8-10 miles every day all around the city as we couldn't communicate with taxi drivers to go anywhere other than back to our hotel.

Trying to navigate the taxi system was literally all we did every day we were in Beijing, Xi'an and Shanghai. I saw a total of 2 tuk tuks the entire time I was there and no motorcycle taxis. Not one. Anywhere. I was looking everywhere we went. You can believe whatever you want. If there are motorcycle taxis in China they are harder to find that a moto-meter.

What everyone in China does have are electric bikes. These are the preferred method of getting around short distances. The vast majority of the population takes the subways.
