According to media reports, in April last year, electric bicycles began to implement the new national standard. At the end of the transition period in many places this year, the traffic control department began to investigate and deal with over-standard vehicles, which ushered in a new trend in the electric bicycle industry.
The so-called "new national standard" refers to the "E-bike Safety Technical Specification" implemented on April 15, 2019. According to the requirements of the new national standard, the maximum design speed does not exceed 25 kilometers per hour and cannot be modified. The system must continue to prompt when speeding. sound.
Compared with the old national standard for electric bicycles, the motor power is adjusted from 240W to 400W, and the weight of the whole vehicle (including battery) is adjusted from 40kg to 55kg. There are mandatory regulations for the pedal riding function, and it is required to not be installed in the frame body. The partition is permanently marked with a unique vehicle code.
In order to allow manufacturers and consumers to have a buffer period, localities have set up a transition period of 1 to 3 years according to their own conditions. At present, with the end of the transition period in most regions, the electric bicycle industry has also ushered in a new wave.
Many manufacturers said that, in addition to policy reasons, this year, due to the epidemic affecting the use of public transportation, the entire market has quickly recovered since April. A person in charge of a manufacturing company said that from January to June, its sales have increased by more than 50%, and it is expected that the entire sales volume of last year will be completed by August 10.
Data show that from January to June this year, the national output of electric bicycles was 11.701 million, a year-on-year increase of 10.3%. In June, the completed output increased by 48.4% year-on-year, and the total profit realized was 1.67 billion yuan, an increase of 31.6% year-on-year.
In addition, it is worth noting that the food delivery and express delivery industries have become the most important market segments for electric bicycles. Statistics show that from January to May this year, the total business volume of express service companies across the country completed 26.41 billion pieces. By 2019, Chinese food delivery users have reached 416 million.
According to industry insiders, with the increasing segmentation of consumer demand, the entire industry will also achieve industrial upgrading along with technological innovation. Experts said that the main focus is now on lithium batteries, while matching the motor, controller, charger, efficiency, and safety with the delivery express car.
