“史上最严”新国标正式实施 新国标如何护航“小电驴”安全？

Core Viewpoint - The new mandatory national standard for electric bicycles (GB 17761—2024) has been implemented since September 1, 2024, aiming to enhance safety and quality in the electric bicycle industry, which has approximately 380 million units in circulation in China, equating to one electric bicycle for every four people [1]. Group 1: Safety and Compliance - The new standard mandates that electric bicycles must not exceed a maximum speed of 25 kilometers per hour, with automatic power cut-off for violations [2]. - To combat illegal modifications, the standard introduces technical specifications for battery packs, controllers, and speed limiters, along with a traceable identification system linking vehicles, batteries, and chargers through a unique QR code [2]. Group 2: Technological Enhancements - The new standard incorporates advanced features such as BeiDou positioning, communication, and dynamic safety monitoring, allowing consumers to receive real-time safety alerts regarding their electric bicycles [3]. - The communication module will upload vehicle data to management platforms, ensuring prompt alerts for any detected safety hazards, while adhering to national information security standards [3]. Group 3: Transition for Existing Vehicles - Electric bicycles produced under the old standard will have a three-month sales transition period until November 30, 2025, after which all sales must comply with the new standard [4]. - Consumers with existing non-compliant vehicles will not be forced to replace them immediately, as local governments may implement policies to facilitate upgrades [4].
