新闻1+1丨“旧国标”停售 电动自行车安全再升级

Core Viewpoint - The implementation of the new national standard for electric bicycles starting December 1 will significantly change sales, consumer choices, and regulatory practices in the industry, emphasizing safety and compliance with updated technical specifications. Group 1: Changes in Standards - The new national standard requires electric bicycles to have a CCC certification mark and enhances safety features such as fire-resistant materials and anti-tampering technology [1] - The weight limit for lead-acid battery models has been increased from 55 kg to 63 kg, allowing for larger batteries and longer range [1] - The new standard does not mandate the installation of pedals, which may result in compliant models lacking pedals [1] Group 2: Consumer Concerns - Consumers are particularly interested in whether the new standard includes an automatic power cut-off when speeds exceed 25 km/h, which is designed to prevent excessive speed under extreme conditions [2] - The new standard allows for the installation of child safety seats on a rear rack, although not all new models may include this feature, leaving design choices to manufacturers [2] - The new standard encourages the installation of rearview mirrors for safety, although some models may not include them, allowing consumers to choose based on their safety needs [3] Group 3: Market Transition and Safety - The transition to the new standard is significant but will take time due to the existing stock of 380 million old standard electric bicycles that need to be phased out [4] - Ensuring the safety of existing old standard vehicles through regular maintenance and incentivizing consumers to switch to new standard vehicles is crucial [4] - The safety of electric bicycles involves not only vehicle standards but also user behavior and infrastructure, necessitating comprehensive efforts to ensure safe operation on roads [5] Group 4: Regulatory Challenges - The prevalence of illegal modifications by retailers is driven by profit motives and regulatory gaps, necessitating stricter enforcement against such practices [6] - The new standard vehicles are more expensive and harder to modify, which may require strategies to eliminate the competitive advantages of old standard vehicles [6]
