These electric bicycles in Hangzhou will not be on the road next year! From tomorrow on, it can be eliminated and replaced in advance

According to the relevant provisions of the regulations of Zhejiang Province on the administration of electric bicycles, non-standard electric bicycles recorded shall not be allowed to drive on the road from January 1, 2023.

From tomorrow to the end of September, the province will carry out activities to encourage the early elimination and replacement of non-standard electric bicycles.

Why is it forbidden to go on the road? The old standard for electric bicycles implemented in 1999 lacks fire prevention and flame retardant performance, charger protection and other indicators, which is prone to spontaneous combustion and does not meet the needs of safe use.

Moreover, non-standard electric bicycles without tamper proof technology are easy to be illegally refitted by “increasing battery capacity, installing other devices, refitting controllers or motors”, resulting in excessive vehicle quality and inadequate battery short-circuit protection, affecting the handling stability and braking performance of vehicles, and easy to cause traffic accidents.

At present, Hangzhou has recorded about 2.93 million non-standard electric bicycles, including about 750000 in the main urban area.

According to the technical code for safety of electric bicycles (gb17761-2018) (hereinafter referred to as the “new national standard”) implemented on April 15, 2019, it is required that the maximum speed shall not be greater than 25 kilometers per hour, the mass of the whole vehicle shall not be greater than 55 kilograms, the width of the vehicle body shall not be greater than 0.45 meters, the distance between the centers of the front and rear wheels shall not be greater than 1.25 meters, the length of the saddle shall not be greater than 0.35 meters, and the nominal voltage of the battery shall be less than 48 volts, The rated power of the motor shall be less than 400 watts and must have the function of pedal riding.

Electric bicycles with license plates of the above style will be eliminated.

From April 10 to the end of September, the province will carry out activities to encourage the early elimination and replacement of non-standard electric bicycles.

Citizens can bring their ID cards and non-standard electric bicycles that need to be eliminated and replaced to the regular electric bicycle sales businesses in Hangzhou for elimination and replacement.

In the process of handling, relying on the “Zhejiang e-bank online” platform and the “lead bomb” platform, the elimination and recycling agency operates on the merchant side to realize the full closed-loop digital management of “source cancellation, intermediate replacement, back-end recycling, end destruction and utilization” of used cars.
