Electric tricycles are popular abroad. What are the inspection standards?

Recently, domestically produced electric vehicles have received attention abroad, causing the number of electric tricycles placed on various foreign e-commerce platforms to continue to surge. Safety standards for electric tricycles and electric motorcycles vary from country to country. Suppliers and manufacturers need to understand the standards and regulations of the target market so that electric tricycles can meet local market requirements.
