March 15 news, tonight's CCTV 315 evening party publicly exposed the problem of two-wheeled electric vehicle speeding, which involves a number of well-known electric vehicle brands, they not only play the role of manufacturers, but even become the initiator of electric vehicle speeding.
According to the mandatory national standards of the "Electric Bicycle Safety Technical Specifications", the speed of electric bicycles cannot exceed 25 km / h. But in reality, many two-wheeled electric vehicles have a much more speed than that, how do they break through the speed limit?
In the video exposed by CCTV, there are two core problems behind the speeding of two-wheeled electric vehicles:
1. There is a speed limit decoder for electric vehicles on the market, which can help car owners lift the speed limit.
2. The speed display of the two-wheeled electric vehicle is changed, even if the speed exceeds 25 km / h, it will not be caught.
According to the CCTV reporter's secret visit, the sales staff of many brands such as Hello Electric Bicycle, Luyuan Electric Bicycle, Xinri Electric Bicycle, Golden Arrow Electric Bicycle and so on have admitted that they have a decoder that can help car owners lift the 25 km / h speed limit.
The staff of the Shinichi electric bicycle store said that "decoding is very convenient, very fast, it is a matter of a few minutes." ”
Salespeople at the Golden Arrow electric bike store said "this is an open secret," saying that if it wasn't decoded, some owners wouldn't buy it at all.
Among them, the sales staff of the Tailing Electric Bicycle, Hello Electric Vehicle and Xinri Electric Bicycle Specialty Store said that they can control the speedometer to show only 25 km / h, but the actual speed of the electric car can be higher.
In this way, even if the electric bicycle is stopped by the traffic police on the road, it will not be found to be evidence of speeding.
A salesperson at a specialty store said that it can be decoded after the customer has been branded, and after decoding, the speed of the electric bicycle can reach 35 km / h to 40 km / h.
A Manager Sun of the Shanghai General Agent of The Maverick Electric Bicycle also admitted in the video that the electric bicycle can indeed be decoded, and the high-equipped car can reach about 40 km / h, and the low-equipped car is about 30 km / h.
So where did the decoders of these electric bicycles in the store come from?
CCTV exposure turned out to be electric bicycle manufacturers distributed to dealers!
The sales staff of the Golden Arrow electric bicycle store admitted in the video: "This (decoder) is provided by the manufacturer. ”
Anda employees even pulled out the decoders they equipped for the store, which can control the top speed of the electric car through the remote control.
The regional manager of the knife electric bicycle manufacturer said in the exposed video: "Decoding is definitely not allowed when leaving the factory, but in our customer's place, we have the decoder. ”
In addition, Jiangsu Lanjun Technology Co., Ltd., a manufacturer specializing in the production of electric bicycles in Wuxi, has also prepared a decoding device for dealers to lift the speed limit. The company's dealers said that once the matter was found, in fact, it was also the manufacturer that was fined, because they reserved the backdoor. But even so, manufacturers still choose to provide decoding devices for dealers. This is truly regrettable.
Regarding the new national standard that restricts the speed of electric bicycles to no more than 25 kilometers per hour, it was officially implemented as early as April 15, 2019, but in the past 3 years, the speeding problem of electric bicycles has been common, and car accidents caused by speeding have also occurred from time to time.
A number of electric bicycle companies exposed at the 315 party, such as Maverick Electric and Xinri Electric Bicycle, are well-known brands in this industry, of which Maverick Electric Bicycle is a listed company in the United States, and Xinri is also the first enterprise in China's electric bicycle industry to land on the main board A-share listing. As a front-line enterprise in the industry, they should assume their due social responsibility and comply with relevant laws and regulations.
At present, some netizens have gone to the Maverick Electric Official Micro Message: I thought you were a clear stream, but also a virtue; I did not expect that the calf with thick eyebrows and big eyes was also on the 315 exposure list.
All in all, netizens are still very disappointed in the behavior of these companies.
These exposed electric bike companies apologize and rectify is unable to run!
