E-bike modifications have become an "open secret"
The "new national standard" for electric bicycles implemented in 2019 and the "Safety Technical Specifications for Electric Bicycles" stipulate that the driving speed of electric bicycles shall not exceed 25 km/h, the weight of the whole vehicle shall not exceed 55 kg, and the battery voltage shall not exceed 48 volts.
Illegally modified e-bikes may be faster and go farther, but they may come at the expense of safety.
Industry insiders said that replacing the original battery with a large-capacity battery may lead to a mismatch between the technical parameters of the battery power and weight and the parameters of the main components such as the charger, speed controller, and motor of the electric bicycle, causing problems such as short circuit or thermal runaway during charging and use, causing fire.
Why illegally modified electric car batteries
Prone to fire?
Let's take a look through experiments
In order to ensure safety, the venue was chosen to be open and open. Firefighters dismantle a battery that has been illegally modified.
After disassembling the battery, the firefighters charged the battery, and after the battery was fully charged, it did not automatically turn off the power, and after several hours of continuous charging, the battery began to smoke, and with the high temperature, it deflagrated and ignited other battery cells, flying out in all directions in a spray shape.
