Online remediation
Strictly regulate online sales behavior
1
Concentrate on interviewing online sales platforms, and require platform enterprises to implement their main responsibilities in response to chaos such as selling through online platforms, or providing guidance for modifications through video, live broadcast, etc.
2
Strengthen the internal monitoring of the platform, and promptly clean up and remove illegal sales links from the shelves. As of April 25, a total of 2,175 links to suspected problematic products have been removed from the online platform, and 4,226 links to products have been blocked.
3
Purify the online publicity environment, focusing on cleaning up and providing graphics, short videos, and live broadcast content such as modified electric bicycle technologies and methods. 238 pieces of relevant short video content were removed from the online platform, 1,217 pieces of illegal information were cleaned up, and 8 users were banned from violating the rules.
In the next step, the Shanghai Municipal Market Supervision Bureau will continue to increase inspection efforts in view of the situation that some stores will place modified electric bicycles in the area outside the store to evade inspection, focusing on inspecting the vehicles for sale outside the store and the new cars with licensed plates stored in the centralized storage, and will carry out quality supervision and random inspections of electric bicycles, batteries and chargers.
Tips
1
Choose qualified electric vehicles: with pedal function, the maximum speed shall not exceed 25km/h, the weight of the vehicle including the battery shall not exceed 55kg, the maximum motor power shall not exceed 400W, and the maximum battery voltage shall not exceed 48V.
2
It is forbidden to modify electric bicycles without authorization, as modification is easy to increase the load of the line, resulting in overheating, short circuit and other problems of the line.
3
Check and maintain frequently, avoid overcharging, replace old batteries in time, electric vehicles have been used for a long time, and the connection routes in the car are easy to age, short circuit, and easy to burn.
4
Electric vehicles are not allowed to be charged at home, and the environment in the house is often relatively closed, and in the event of a fire, the consequences are unimaginable.
