Maxiaohua, a popular electric bicycle by countless city people, is embarrassed by a standard contest.  According to experts said, the need to revise the electric bicycle standards are difficult to dystocia, the main reason is the relevant authorities between the differences of opinion. The current national standard of electric bicycles was introduced in 1999, which stipulates that the maximum speed of an electric bicycle should be no more than 20 km, weight should not exceed 40 kg.  But with the change of consumer demand and the improvement of technical level, many electric bicycle products are not according to this standard production, resulting in a lot of substandard products. At the beginning of December, the National Standardization Management Committee (hereinafter referred to as "National Standard Committee") issued "electric motorcycles and electric mopeds general technical conditions", stipulates that "more than 40 kg, 20 kilometers per hour of electric bicycles, will be called light electric motorcycles or electric motorcycles, into the category of motor vehicles." This provision will be implemented from January 1, 2010 onwards.  Because of the fear of exceeding the standard electric bicycle will be identified as motor vehicles, the new standards of electro-friction has sparked the hot debate between consumers and related enterprises. 6th night, the National Standard Committee issued a note, pointed out that the electric bicycle and electric mopeds are obviously different characteristics of the two products, consumers to purchase the use of electric bicycles in line with the standard requirements are not motor vehicles, owners do not have to test the driver's license, on the vehicle license plate and so on.  But the statement did not quell the controversy. It is understood that in the new standard of electric bicycles revision, the relevant departments of the main points of disagreement is the weight. A national standard committee Personage tells CBN Reporter: "The newly revised Electric bicycle standard, the speed will be invariable, the frame length will be longer." But the weight problem is still in dispute. "" 40 kg "competition" electric bicycle standards are now in the revision, the delay has not been introduced, because there is a lot of controversy, the core of the controversy is its weight problem. is more than 40 kg or less than 40 kg, is not finalized.  "In charge of national bicycles, electric bicycles, gasoline engine bicycle and other professional areas of standardization work," said the expert, who declined to be named. It is understood that, in accordance with the relevant provisions, electric bicycles such standards should be revised every 5 years to adapt to the development of the industry. However, it has not been revised for 10 years and has been seriously lagging behind. One reason is that there has been no agreement on the views of the relevant authorities in the country. The above national standard committee personage discloses: "At present regarding the electric bicycle weight, AQSIQ has no objection to more than 40 kilograms, but the Traffic Management department request is below 40 kilograms." "At present, many electric bikes on the market are often beyond the standard. In the production of electric bicycles, it seems that the reason to dare to exceed the standard, because the "general technical conditions of electric bicycles" "can not meet the needs of consumers now." NI, chairman of Green Source, said to CBN: "We have called for revision of standards since 2002, because the standards of electric bikes have to change, because of market demand, technology development and urbanisation, but they have not changed yet."According to NI, the top speed of no more than 20 kilometers, has not met the requirements of the general user.  At the same time, the weight of electric bicycles mainly from the weight of the battery, weighing within 40 kg of vehicles equipped with the battery, can only run 20 kilometers, which for many office workers will bring very great inconvenience. Exceeding the standard is not equal to unqualified "after 2005, more and more products of electric bicycles exceeding the standard, but not equal to unqualified." In the implementation of the electric bicycle standards, the veto must be met, but in the important and general terms, there can be three of substandard, in which case the product is also a qualified product. Lu Jinrong, director of China Bicycle Association Electric Vehicle Committee, said to CBN reporters.  This point of view, the reporter from the National standard Committee also obtained confirmation. The above national standard committee Personage said, the current market electric bicycle production enterprise All is obtains the production license, also in the electric bicycle standard comprehensive management scope carries on the production.  However, since the 1998 standard was not able to predict the trend of future development, so there is no special requirements for weight. Ni, who was involved in standard-setting, also said: "There was no discussion of weight at the time because it was less than 40 kg, and it was concerned with safety-related items such as braking, frame length and speed."  "But with the market demand and technology increase, weight becomes the current industry can survive the fatal one." Delayed application not yet answered for the controversial new GB, the Chinese bicycle industry is trying to protect its own interests.  Media reports, the Sichuan Bicycle Association and Chengdu Electric Bicycle Industry association will be in a few days jointly write to the relevant State departments, apply for revocation or suspend the implementation of the new GB. Lu Jinrong also said: "We submitted to the National Standard Committee on December 7 the postponement of implementation and proposed changes to the proposal, has been the most critical 40 kg and 20 kilometers per hour of the two projects proposed changes, but has not yet received a response." "If the electro-friction standard is executed at a given time, so, because the current market in the actual sale of electric bicycles and electro-friction standard height coincide, starting from January 1 next year, the production of electric bicycles in fact, the enterprise into the production of electric motorcycles, and the production of motorcycles must have a state license, so,  Hundreds of thousands of businesses will turn into illegal businesses in an instant. Another problem is that if the standard electric bikes are considered to be electric motorcycles, they must go to the motorway, but the low speed of the electric bicycle in the motorway, will greatly increase traffic safety problems.  The consumer must also test the driver's license, on the license plate, otherwise it is illegal, may be punished at any time. How to solve all these problems? The parties are watching.
