Economic Daily: "E-scooters should balance safety and convenience."

An article in the Economic Daily pointed out that after the implementation of the new national standard, the safety performance of electric bicycles has greatly improved. Why is it still causing discussions? The reason is that people not only want electric bicycles to be safe and reliable, but also expect them to be convenient enough. For many consumers, electric bicycles are essential tools for commuting, shopping, and transporting children. However, some new models currently tend to have a simple appearance, with insufficient seating and storage space, directly affecting the user experience and objectively weakening the vehicle's value. Of course, some irresponsible self-media may also be fueling the fire, deliberately creating false information such as "prohibition of carrying children" to attract traffic, misleading the public and obscuring valuable public discussions. In the future, it is necessary for all parties to work together to respond to public concerns and build a good industrial ecology. On the one hand, leading companies should take the lead in demonstrating, strictly adhere to the requirements of the new standards, continuously focus on consumers' actual needs, optimize product design and performance, and improve user experience. On the other hand, consumers should be guided to purchase according to their needs, and resolutely eliminate false advertising, illegal sales, and illegal modifications. More tolerance, more rationality, can help the new national standard "little electric donkey" find the best balance between safety and practicality.
