Since the launch of the electric bicycle safety governance action, the two-level special classes in the urban area have coordinated and linked, strengthened supervision and law enforcement, and traced the source and strictly investigated the illegal acts of "fighting, adding, and modifying" the operation of electric bicycles. A number of typical cases are now announced to the public, urging electric bicycle operators to take warning, consciously abide by the law, and strictly prohibit the illegal acts of "fighting, adding, and modifying" electric bicycles. Consumers are reminded to strengthen their awareness of prevention and purchase and use regular and qualified vehicles and accessories.
Batch modification is rented out for profit
Shanghai Rider Bang Technology Co., Ltd. has modified the battery less than or equal to 48 volts that should be installed to 60 volts as stipulated in the "Safety Technical Specifications for Electric Bicycles" (GB17761-2018), and has rented out 693 electric bicycles with a battery rated voltage of 60 volts since January 2024, and charged more than 260,000 yuan in rent. The party's behavior of modifying the battery of the electric bicycle used for leasing violates the first paragraph of Article 12 of the "Shanghai Municipal Regulations on the Safety Management of Non-motor Vehicles", which prohibits units and individuals from engaging in the following acts: (2) installing batteries, motors and other power devices on non-motor vehicles, and installing seats, umbrellas, canopies (compartments), and high-decibel audio. The illegal acts of the parties involved a huge amount of money and were suspected of crimes, and the market supervision department has transferred them to the public security organs for further processing on April 12 in accordance with Article 27 of the "Administrative Punishment Law of the People's Republic of China".
A retrofit service and a fire to the company camp
On April 9, an electric bicycle in the process of centralized charging outdoors on Shujian Road spontaneously combusted and caused a fire, burning 2 motor vehicles, 9 electric bicycles and 1 bicycle parked nearby. After investigation, in August 2022, the Genzhisheng Auto Parts Business Department in Minhang District provided the car owner Li (who has been administratively detained by the public security organs) with the service of installing a 60-volt 60-ampere-hour lithium battery and charged a fee. In addition, it has also provided consumers with illegal "spelling, adding, and modifying" services such as welding and installing umbrellas and replacing over-standard batteries for many times, and charged fees. The behavior of the Genzhisheng Auto Parts Business Department in Minhang District violated the provisions of Article 12, Paragraph 1 of the Regulations of Shanghai Municipality on the Safety Management of Non-motor Vehicles. In accordance with the provisions of Article 41 of the Regulations of Shanghai Municipality on the Safety Management of Non-motor Vehicles, the party was fined RMB 20,000 yuan.
Blatantly buy it and change it
On April 11, during the inspection of an electric bicycle business department at No. 126-16 Jianchuan Road, it was found that the electric bicycles sold there were marked with sales advertisements of "60 volts 20 ampere" and "riding 60 kilometers". After investigation, after the party sold the above-mentioned electric bicycle, the original 48-volt 15-amph-hour battery will be replaced with a 60-volt 20-amph-hour battery according to the consumer's request. The party's act of modifying the battery for the electric bicycle violated the provisions of Article 12, Paragraph 1 of the Regulations of Shanghai Municipality on the Safety Management of Non-motor Vehicles. In accordance with the provisions of Article 41 of the Regulations of Shanghai Municipality on the Safety Management of Non-motor Vehicles, the party concerned was fined RMB 10,000.
Retrofitting a child seat is dangerous!
During the inspection of a business site on Xinsong Road, Xinqiao Town, Songjiang District, it was found that a child seat had been installed on an electric bicycle with a vehicle code of 1992223810316** displayed on the scene. The behavior of the parties violated the provisions of Article 12, Paragraph 1 of the Regulations of Shanghai Municipality on the Safety Management of Non-motor Vehicles, and there will be potential safety hazards such as increasing driving inertia and reducing vehicle handling performance. The product is not sold, and there is no illegal income. The party concerned has been ordered to restore the factory state of the electric bicycle and imposed an administrative penalty of a fine of RMB 1,000 yuan.
Peek-a-boo!
In the safety rectification investigation of electric bicycles carried out in Chongming District, it was found that there were non-original lithium battery packs and welding tools in an electric bicycle repair shop in Chengqiao District, and abnormal behaviors such as "irregular opening and closure" often occurred. After investigation, in order to make more profits and meet the needs of customers for "more orders and more travel", the party provided tailor-made "special maintenance" through WeChat "point-to-point" contact, and repeatedly modified electric bicycles into high-speed electric bicycles with "voltage of 72 volts and speeds of more than 70 km/h", and the illegal sales amount amounted to more than 20 yuan. At present, two criminal suspects, including Shi and Yuan, have been taken criminal compulsory measures by the Chongming police in accordance with the law on suspicion of selling fake and shoddy products, and the case is being further tried.
