The scene of the joint press conference
Electric bicycles have brought great convenience to life, but there have always been consumers in order to pursue "speed" and "personality" to electric bicycles to "fight, add, change", this demand has also become a way for unscrupulous businesses to make huge profits, but we do not know that the illegal modification of electric bicycles will greatly increase the risk of driving safety and the probability of spontaneous combustion and deflagration of vehicles.
In order to standardize and guide the compliance operation of electric bicycle business entities in the district, the District Market Supervision Bureau has issued the "Guidelines for the Compliance Operation of Electric Bicycles" (click to view) in March.
The District Market Supervision Bureau reminds electric bicycle business entities to strictly abide by the provisions of laws, regulations and mandatory standards, do not leave anything to chance, ensure legal and compliant business activities, and also encourage public supervision, if consumers buy or find non-standard electric bicycles, inconsistent with the content of the 3C certification certificate and illegal "spelling, adding, changing" electric bicycles, you can report to the market supervision department through 12345, 12315 and other hotlines.
