Electric vehicles have been born for more than 40 years, with small and flexible, cheap and other characteristics have been fully promoted, becoming a popular low-end travel tool in the country. In the past, the mainland lacked relevant regulations to restrict electric vehicles, resulting in chaos.
Since 2019, the mainland has implemented a new national standard policy for electric vehicles, and at present, electric vehicles must be listed on the road to drive legally, and individual types of electric vehicles must also be tested for driver's licenses. After the implementation of the new national standard electric vehicle policy, the relevant departments require electric vehicles to install foot pedals, and electric vehicles without foot pedals are over-standard electric vehicles and are not allowed to drive on the road.
Mandatory installation of electric vehicles, pedals caused an uproar, many people who have ridden electric vehicles have complained that the pedals are useless, when there is no electricity, pedaling can not move, when there is electricity do not need to pedal. The pedals lack practical effect and are more like a decoration.
Disadvantages of foot pedals:
First, obstruct leg movement.
The footpegs are located on either side of the pedals, and small raised stools block the owner's small legs. When the owner rides the electric vehicle, he needs to put his foot on the pedal, and the pedal is located on the outside of the electric vehicle, which is very obstructive during use and often touches the owner's leg.
Second, it is inconvenient to rotate with the car.
Some electric vehicles are equipped with pedals that rotate with the car, and the electric vehicles are speeding forward on the road, and the pedals are also rotating rapidly. The fast-rotating pedals can easily touch the owner's legs, affecting the owner's normal driving.
Third, it causes clothing to get involved.
Some girls wear skirts when riding electric vehicles, and the skirt is easily rolled into the rotating pedals, causing damage to the electric vehicle, and in serious cases, it will cause the owner to be injured.
The original design of the pedals is to assist the vehicle to move forward, and when the electric vehicle is out of power, the owner can use the way of riding to move forward. In the actual use of many car owners feel that the pedals have no effect, the weight of the electric vehicle is close to 50 kg, and it is very difficult to pedal forward when the vehicle is out of power.
Since the pedals are not practical and the owners are not willing to accept it, why should the new national standard electric vehicles be forced to install the pedals? The first reason is that the pedals help keep the electric car balanced. Electric vehicles are not as light and flexible as bicycles, and many people have unstable centers of gravity when driving electric vehicles, and the vehicle is easily shifted to the sides.
The relevant departments install foot pedals on both sides of the electric vehicle, and the owner puts his feet on the foot pedals when driving the vehicle, which helps to maintain the balance of gravity, and the electric vehicle is not easy to roll over.
The second advantage is that when there is no power, you can move forward manually. When the electric vehicle fails or the battery is out of power, it is impossible to move forward, and the human drive can be realized with the foot pedals. The only fly in the ointment is that it is particularly difficult to step forward on the pedals, and thin female drivers may not be able to ride an electric car.
Editor's Comments:
The pedals seem inconspicuous, as if there is no effect, in fact, with the pedals in the process of driving is more convenient. The relevant departments force the installation of pedals for electric vehicles in order to enhance safety performance, and standardizing the manufacturer's production standards will help facilitate the unified management of relevant departments.
The electric vehicle only has two wheels to the ground, it is easy to roll over after losing balance, and after the vehicle rolls over, the pedals are in direct contact with the ground to avoid the vehicle lying flat on the ground. Calling the list can help the owner to grasp the balance, but also to avoid the electric vehicle falling, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, do you think the electric vehicle should be installed with foot pedals?
