Core Viewpoint - The rapid growth of the food delivery industry in China has led to significant issues regarding the use of over-standard electric vehicles by delivery personnel, resulting in insurance claim difficulties when accidents occur [1][2]. Group 1: Insurance Claim Difficulties - Many delivery personnel face challenges in obtaining insurance compensation after accidents involving over-standard electric vehicles, as these vehicles are often classified as motor vehicles by traffic authorities, leading to insurance companies denying claims based on "driving a motor vehicle without a license" [2][7]. - In 2025 alone, over 450 cases were found on the Chinese court document website where delivery personnel were denied insurance claims due to the classification of their vehicles [7]. - A notable case involved a Meituan delivery rider whose insurance claim was denied after a fatal accident, but the court ultimately ruled in favor of the rider, ordering the insurance company to pay [4][6]. Group 2: Characteristics of Over-Standard Electric Vehicles - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology reported that the total number of electric bicycles in China has exceeded 350 million, with many delivery personnel relying on these vehicles for their work [10]. - Delivery personnel often modify their electric vehicles to enhance speed and efficiency to meet platform algorithms and delivery deadlines, leading to vehicles that exceed legal speed limits and technical specifications [10][11]. - The legal definition states that electric bicycles must not exceed a speed of 25 km/h, a power of 400 watts, or a weight of 55 kg; exceeding these limits classifies them as motor vehicles, which complicates insurance and liability issues [11][12]. Group 3: Solutions to Insurance Claim Issues - Legal experts suggest that platforms, delivery personnel, and the insurance industry must collaborate to improve the insurance system, enhance awareness, and optimize service to protect the rights of delivery personnel [12][13]. - Recommendations include developing specialized insurance products for delivery personnel, clarifying insurance terms regarding vehicle classification, and ensuring comprehensive coverage for various risks associated with delivery work [12][15]. - Recent regulatory actions in cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou aim to address the issue of over-standard electric vehicles, with measures to penalize illegal modifications and improve safety standards for delivery personnel [14][15].

根据第 54 次《中国互联网络发展状况统计报告》，截至 2024年6月，在网上购买过外卖的用户高达约 5.52亿人。巨大的市场，催生了规模庞大的外卖骑手群体。有数据显示，目前全国骑手已经超过1000万 人。然而，由于就业市场供需关系等因素，骑手在与平台的议价中处于弱势地位。尽管偶尔可见外卖骑 手月入过万的案例，但实际上，获得这样的收入往往需要付出超长的工作时间。平台以"多劳多得"为导 向，将工作时长模糊为"在线时长"，再配合"全勤奖"、订单量等阶梯奖励机制，虽然并非强制要求，但 在实际运营中，却导致一些骑手长时间工作。 来源：环球时报 针对当前外卖行业竞争中存在的突出问题，市场监管总局等五部门近日约谈了京东、美团、饿了么等平 台企业。其中明确要求相关平台企业严格落实主体责任，合法规范经营，切实维护消费者、平台内经营 者和外卖骑手的合法权益。显然，消费者的利益需要得到切实维护，商户面临的经营压力需要有效纾 解，而骑手权益的保障，也需要得到应有的重视，以更好地推动行业健康发展。 国内机动车数量爆发式增长之后，"电子警察"被大量使用，有效控制了交通违法违规带来的混乱和风 险。就此而言，对于从业人数如此庞大的骑手队伍 ...
