In recent years, people have been traveling more and more widely on electric bicycles. It is estimated that the current number of electric bicycles in Hebei Province is about 25 million, with an annual sales volume of nearly 2 million. While electric bicycles bring convenience to people's travel, they also lead to a series of safety problems, and hidden dangers are very prominent.
reporter learned from the Traffic Police Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau that since 2018, there have been more than 4,000 road traffic accidents involving electric bicycles, more than 1,600 deaths and more than 3,500 injuries in the province, accounting for more than 20% of the total traffic accidents, and are showing an upward trend year by year. In the first half of this year alone, more than 600 electric bicycle accidents occurred in the province, killing more than 260 people.
standardizes the registration of license plates, strengthens the management of electric bicycles
On December 17, the Standing Committee of the Hebei Provincial People's Congress held a press conference on the "Hebei Province Electric Bicycle Management Regulations". The meeting introduced: "Registration and registration starts from the date of implementation of the Regulations, that is, May 1, 2022. Electric bicycles purchased before the implementation of the regulations must be registered and registered within six months after the implementation of the regulations. The newly purchased electric bicycles will be registered within 30 days from the date of purchase." In order to facilitate the public's registration and registration, Hebei Province has built a unified electric bicycle registration and management system in the province, which will realize the "mobile" registration and registration.
According to reports, at present, the traffic of electric bicycles is relatively chaotic, and a large number of non-standard electric bicycles and standard electric bicycles look similar and are not easy to distinguish, resulting in a series of traffic order and safety issues. Through registration and management, license plates with different appearances are issued to standardized vehicles and non-standard vehicles. Electric bicycles that meet mandatory national standards and do not meet mandatory national standards can be distinguished, classified management and standardized management can be realized, and then through the three-year transition period, non-standard electric bicycles in use can be steadily eliminated and gradually purified the road traffic environment. At the same time, binding of human and vehicle information through registration and registration is of great help to solve electric bicycle traffic accidents, theft cases and return of property.
Electronic bicycle registration is free, the process is not complicated
Is it charged for registration of electric bicycles? The Provincial Public Security Department made it clear at the press conference that the style of electric bicycle license plates is unified across the province, and no fees are charged for registration and registration. The registration authority for electric bicycles is the traffic management department of the public security organ, and the traffic police detachment and brigade are specifically responsible for the registration and registration business. Registration and registration shall start from the date of implementation of the Regulations, that is, on May 1 next year. Electric bicycles purchased before the implementation of the regulations must be registered and registered within six months after the implementation of the regulations. The newly purchased electric bicycles shall be registered within 30 days from the date of purchase.
: Use the owner’s identity certificate, car purchase certificate or other proof of origin and factory certificate of conformity when registering electric bicycles. According to reports, "considering that some people are using electric bicycles, because the invoice is lost for a long time, or the invoice or receipt has not been issued, when registering with electric bicycles, everyone will use the methods of making a promise to solve this problem."
So, do you need a driver's license to drive an electric bicycle registered and registered? According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, electric bicycles are non-motor vehicles. The electric bicycles registered and licensed are still non-motor vehicles. They do not need to obtain a driver's license or purchase a third-party compulsory insurance, and they are still driving in non-motor vehicle lanes. If a non-standard electric bicycle with a temporary license plate is on the road within a three-year transition period, referring to the non-motor vehicle management, non-motor vehicles will be given the right to pass, and there is no need to obtain a driver's license or purchase a third-party compulsory insurance.
To facilitate the people, the Hebei public security organs have built a unified electric bicycle registration and management system in the province. The system relies on the mobile APP to realize the registration and registration of license plates. The service personnel take photos and collect and enter relevant information through mobile phones. After review, the electric bicycle license plate will be issued and installed immediately. The entire operation process will not exceed 6 minutes. Considering the huge stock of electric bicycles, during the six-month centralized registration stage, the public security police station, township or street office government service points, postal outlets, insurance outlets, bank outlets, etc. will be entrusted to register and register electric bicycles, and if necessary, go to villages, door-to-door processing, and handle them for free to improve the service experience.The newly purchased electric bicycles will be entrusted to the sales outlets to handle registration services to achieve "licensed sales". While consumers purchase electric bicycles, they will register and install license plates. Registration of
is the first step in standardizing the management of electric vehicles. We look forward to the "combination punch"
Hebei will strengthen supervision and inspection of the production and sales of electric bicycle products, increase spot check batches of products such as electric bicycle products and related batteries and chargers, and expand the coverage of spot checks.
Market supervision departments across the province will use key supervision methods such as joint investigation by regulatory departments and certification agencies and full coverage inspection by regulatory departments to strengthen the on-site and post-event certification supervision of electric bicycles, and deal with problems in a timely manner when they are found.
According to the police, in accordance with the implementation of the "Regulations", Hebei Province will also conduct special inspections on the production and sale of electric bicycles across the province, strictly investigate the production and sale of electric bicycles that do not meet the standards; strictly investigate the behaviors that affect the safety performance of electric bicycles such as commercial assembly, installation, and modification; strictly investigate the production, sale and import of electric bicycles without China's mandatory certification, and the illegal use of certified products, and the contents of the certification certificate marked on the sales packaging are inconsistent with the contents of the certification certificate, and the failure to use the certification mark in accordance with regulations, etc.
Since the Ministry of Public Security’s Traffic Management Bureau deployed the national public security traffic management department to carry out the “One Helmet and One Belt” safety protection operation in 2020, as of now, the average wearing rate of electric bicycle safety helmets nationwide has increased from less than 20% before the operation to more than 50%, and the mortality rate of electric bicycle drivers and passengers has decreased by 11.7% year-on-year. At present, the wearing rate of safety helmets riding on electric bicycles in Handan City is relatively low. Recently, a woman in Daming County was injured in running a red light without wearing a safety helmet. She was found by the police in time and sent to the hospital. Data show that the risk of death for drivers and passengers without safety helmets is 3.9 times that of wearers. Wearing a safety helmet is an important means to ensure the safety of riders and is very necessary. At present, 20 provinces and prefecture-level cities across the country have already legislated to mandate the wear of safety helmets, and the mortality rate of accidents has dropped significantly. After the legislation of the "combination punch", wearing safety helmets will become a habit for the people of electric bicycles to travel.
