Core Viewpoint - The newly revised mandatory national standard for electric bicycles, GB 17761—2024, has been implemented, and the transition period has officially ended, with compliant electric bicycles being launched in the market. Concerns regarding widespread store closures and safety issues related to the new standard have been addressed by the China Electronics Standardization Institute, clarifying that these concerns are unfounded [1][2]. Group 1: Market Impact - The new standard was officially implemented on September 1, and since then, production of old standard vehicles has ceased, with over 400 models from more than 30 mainstream brands already certified under the new standard [1]. - Most electric bicycle sales stores are operating normally, with available stock to meet consumer demand, and only a few stores in certain regions have temporarily closed, likely due to strategic adjustments rather than supply issues [1]. Group 2: Safety Regulations - The new standard maintains the maximum speed limit of 25 km/h and introduces a requirement for the motor to stop providing power when this speed is exceeded, which is based on extensive experimental data to ensure safety and smooth riding [1][2]. - The implementation of the new standard does not lead to sudden braking during normal operation, as the motor will not assist when the speed exceeds 25 km/h, allowing riders to control speed through braking [2]. Group 3: Design Considerations - The new standard does not change the previous regulation regarding the length of the seat, which should not exceed 350 mm, to prevent illegal carrying of adults on electric bicycles [2]. - The standard encourages the installation of rearview mirrors and allows for the measurement of vehicle height and width without including the dimensions of mirrors and connecting rods, providing flexibility for design and installation [2].
