Core Viewpoint - The implementation of the new national standard for electric bicycles has led to a rise in prices and a shift in market dynamics, with stricter regulations affecting manufacturers and consumer choices [4][10][16]. Market Situation - The current market for new standard electric bicycles shows limited variety, with few models available and no promotional activities [11][12]. - Prices for electric bicycles have increased by approximately 200-300 yuan, with examples like the Aima "Little Golden Bean" model rising from around 2000 yuan to 2300 yuan [10][12]. - Sales performance varies by store, with some reporting normal sales while others have not sold any new standard models [12]. Speed Limit and Compliance - New standard electric bicycles cannot unlock speed limits, with a maximum speed of 25 km/h enforced through multiple anti-tampering measures [8][9]. - Manufacturers have closed loopholes for speed modification due to strict penalties, and any attempts to enhance speed would compromise compliance and registration [8][9]. Material and Design Changes - The new standard mandates reduced plastic usage, requiring manufacturers to use more aluminum and magnesium alloys, which increases production costs [10][16]. - The design changes have led to improved material quality, with many components now made from fire-retardant materials [10]. Industry Dynamics - The new standard is expected to reshape the industry, favoring larger manufacturers with better cost structures and market shares, while smaller companies may struggle to comply [16][17]. - The market may experience a cooling period followed by a resurgence as consumers adapt to the new regulations and seek compliant products [16]. Consumer Behavior - Some consumers still prefer older models due to their longer range and larger size, but these models are becoming scarce and more expensive [14][15]. - The demand for electric motorcycles may increase as consumers seeking higher speeds transition away from electric bicycles [16].
