The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other five departments organized the revisionThe mandatory national standard "Electric Bicycle Safety Technical Specifications" will be implemented on September 1.The new national standard clearly stipulates that the maximum design speed of electric bicycles shall not exceed 25km/h, and requires the electric motor to automatically stop power output when exceeding 25km/h, which can effectively curb safety hazards caused by speeding.
Recently, many brands have removed their products from the shelves online, and some brands have even removed all their products from the entire network. According to CCTV News, online stores are currently switching between old and new standard products, while offline stores are still selling old standard products.
According to the dealer, the new national standard cars have not been produced yet, and the old cars will no longer be produced after August 15.
Many people are very confused whether their old national standard vehicles can still be used on the road normally and whether they need to be replaced by new models.
Experts said: Vehicles that consumers have purchased that do not meet the new standards will not be forcibly eliminated.According to He Penglin, deputy director of the Safety Technology Research Center of the China Electronics Technology Standardization Institute, "The new standards mainly target the production, sales, and business operations of enterprises. Electric bicycles that have been purchased by ordinary consumers are not subject to the new standards. They will not be forcibly eliminated.It is a normal replacement based on the wishes of our consumers. "
It is worth noting that in addition to stricter speed limits, this new national standard also adds restrictions on Beidou positioning and shell materials. The specific changes are as follows:
Strengthened fire retardant requirements for non-metallic materials;
It is clarified that the total mass of plastic used in electric bicycles should not exceed 5.5% of the mass of the entire vehicle;
Added requirements for low-speed running torque of the motor;
Improved anti-tampering requirements for battery packs, controllers, and speed limiters;
Improved braking performance requirements;
Increase the upper limit of the vehicle weight of electric bicycles using lead-acid batteries from 55kg to 63kg;
Added requirements for enterprise quality assurance capabilities and product consistency;
Electric bicycles are required to have Beidou positioning, communication and dynamic safety monitoring functions;
It is no longer mandatory for all models to be equipped with pedal riding devices;
It is clarified that electric bicycles are encouraged to install rear-view mirrors.
