315 points are calling for rental electric vehicles that violate the new national standard.
The speed can reach 40 to 50, 50 to 60 kilometers per hour. In the latest "Electric Bicycle Safety Technical Specification" implemented by the country in 2025, it is clearly stipulated: the maximum design speed should not exceed 25 kilometers per hour, the battery pack should not exceed 48 volts in labeling, and the output power of the electric motor should be less than or equal to 400 watts. According to data from the Road Traffic Safety Research Center of the Ministry of Public Security, electric bicycles are involved in about 10% of traffic accidents in urban road traffic accidents, and one of the main reasons is that electric bicycles illegally remove speed limits and overspeed. In live broadcasts, facing numerous consumers, e-commerce anchors do not care about national standards, openly promote the performance of their illegally modified electric bicycles, and these non-compliant electric bicycles can be rented at will. The reporter rented a vehicle from an electric vehicle rental shop and experienced the most extreme speeding, with an actual speed of up to 80 kilometers per hour.
During the investigation, the reporter found that not only do individual local rental stores rent electric bicycles that violate national standards, but some well-known chain brands also have the same phenomenon. Hello Rent Electric Bike is a leading brand in the electric bike rental industry. Its official website introduces that it has currently set up over 5000 stores in more than 100 cities nationwide. The reporter went to a Hello Rent Electric Bike offline store for investigation. The staff at the Hello Rent Electric Bike rental store said that their electric bicycles can reach a maximum speed of 75 kilometers per hour.
In the capacity of joining the brand, the reporter contacted Manager Mi, the provincial business manager of Hello Rent Electric Bike. Manager Mi informed the reporter in detail: even before the new national standard was implemented, some electric bicycle channel operators applied for electric bicycle licenses based on a large number of as yet unproduced electric bicycle certificates. When customers needed these vehicles, they had the manufacturer produce corresponding vehicles according to the standards before the new national standard, making these newly produced electric bicycles naturally become old vehicles before the new national standard was introduced. Therefore, they circumvented the new national standard's "one vehicle, one pool, one charge, one code" mutual recognition mechanism, making it easy to remove the speed restriction of the vehicles. On the other hand, Manager Wang of the company directly informed the reporter that the motorcycles distributed uniformly to all stores are actually electric bicycles, but they are hanging electric moped license plates. These licenses were actually purchased directly, and they can provide as many as needed at a low price.
