edelweis Posted April 19, 2010 at 05:44 PM Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 at 05:44 PM as a follow-up to the 骑车 discussion in the grammar section, I was reminded of the variety of light vehicles I saw in Beijing So 骑车 could refer to 摩托车,自行车/脚踏车. Could it also refer to 三轮车 if you are the driver? if you are the client? Is a tricycle with a motor and no passenger seat (see photo) also a 三轮车? or does it have another name? What about a moped? a scooter? yellowbridge results for scooter: 机车 jīchē locomotive; train engine car; scooter 滑板车 huábǎnchē scooter 踏板车 tàbǎn chē scooter 电单车 diàndānchē scooter 机踏车 jītàchē scooter what's the difference? What about circus unicycles? What do you call a fruit seller's wheelbarrow? (the ones I saw had at least two wheels, I'm quite certain there must be 1, 3,4 wheel version, how do you say "a 4 wheeled wheelbarrow" etc.) E.

rivercao Posted April 20, 2010 at 03:26 AM Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 at 03:26 AM 骑车 refers to 自行车,(because Chinese transport was bicycle-based) if you want to say you are driving a certain kind of light vehicle, you should say their name, like"骑三轮车""骑摩托车".
