YADEA(HK:01585) Feng Huang Wang·2025-12-04 22:25Core Viewpoint - The recent controversies surrounding the new national standard electric bicycles, such as "metal seats" and "prohibition of carrying passengers," are largely due to misunderstandings of the standard's implementation, according to Yadea Technology Group's statement [1][2]. Group 1: Company Response - Yadea clarified that the reported "odd" configurations are not representative of the industry and only appear in specific models from certain companies [1]. - The company has launched 68 new models that comply with the new national standard, ensuring comfort and safety for carrying children [1][2]. Group 2: Industry Context - The transition period for the mandatory national standard, "Electric Bicycle Safety Technical Specification" (GB17761—2024), ended on November 30, leading to some new vehicle configurations that do not align with consumer habits [1]. - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology indicated that the issues stem from a lack of comprehensive understanding of the new standard by some companies, not a widespread industry problem [1]. - Over 100 companies have had more than 600 models certified by CCC and are gradually entering the market [1]. Group 3: New Standard Features - The new standard does not mandate "metal seats" or prohibit carrying passengers; it instead removes the requirement for mandatory footrests and optimizes safety features such as fire resistance, braking distance, and dynamic safety monitoring [2]. - Yadea's compliant models have been optimized for various travel scenarios, maintaining comfortable seat designs and including rearview mirrors to meet consumer needs [2].
