Core Viewpoint - The sale of old national standard electric bicycles has been banned since December 1, but the market for "zero kilometer" second-hand electric bicycles, which are often illegally modified and sold without proper transfer of ownership, is thriving [1][2][3]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - The demand for "zero kilometer" second-hand electric bicycles is high, with sellers advertising features like high battery life and modifications that remove speed limits [2][3]. - Sellers are capitalizing on the ban of new old national standard electric bicycles by promoting these second-hand options as more convenient and cost-effective for consumers, particularly for delivery workers [4][6]. - Prices for these second-hand bicycles range from 1,500 to 2,800 yuan, influenced by brand, condition, motor power, and battery capacity [3][4]. Group 2: Regulatory Environment - Starting May 1, 2024, the new Beijing Non-Motor Vehicle Management Regulations will require the transfer of ownership for second-hand electric bicycles within 30 days of sale [1][25]. - Current regulations do not mandate the completion of ownership transfer for second-hand electric bicycles, leading to a prevalence of "back registration" practices that complicate traffic law enforcement [24][25]. - The lack of a formal process for verifying the authenticity of vehicle registration and ownership poses risks for consumers, as many sellers do not provide proper documentation [17][18]. Group 3: Consumer Behavior - Many consumers are unaware of the importance of vehicle registration and ownership transfer, leading to potential legal issues if they purchase bicycles without proper documentation [16][17]. - Sellers often promote the idea that not transferring ownership is beneficial, as it can prevent traffic violations from being recorded against the new owner's name [15][17]. - The market for these bicycles is primarily targeting delivery workers, who prefer the performance characteristics of old national standard bicycles over new models [7][14].
