As a closed cockpit, the old scooter has a very good function of sheltering from the wind and rain, in such a winter, it is very suitable for travel and transportation, but compared to previous years, every winter, the old scooter will be different from the peak sales season, this winter, the market sales of low-speed electric vehicles and the same weather, into the "cold winter".
Many dealers of low-speed electric vehicles have said that now this type of car is more and more difficult to sell, and the reason for this is that all places have increased the production of "non-standard cars" and the constraints on the road, as consumers, no one wants to spend money, but can not buy a vehicle that is not allowed to be used.
But this means that low-speed electric vehicles are not allowed to be used at all? Small connoisseurs can responsibly tell everyone, of course not, the crackdown everywhere is the sale of "non-standard cars" and some drivers who do not meet the conditions on the road in violation of the law, in fact, as long as the relevant standards are met, low-speed electric vehicles can be bought and driven, and as for what standards, let's take a detailed look at it below.
What standards can the old scooter meet to buy with confidence?
The old scooter refers to a low-speed electric vehicle, and it is an important model in the current electric vehicle market, China has thousands of enterprises engaged in the production of related products, there are a number of related brands to enjoy, complete prohibition is obviously unrealistic, and now it is only to regulate this type of car, so that its production, sales have standards, and the main standards include the following;
1, body, space, weight
In the revised version of the "Pure Electric Passenger Car Technical Conditions", the low-speed electric vehicle is clearly defined as "micro low-speed pure electric passenger car", and the micro is the meaning of "small", therefore, its vehicle size has standards for length, width and height, respectively, not more than 3500mm, 1500mm, 1700mm; and in terms of space, as a mini car, its maximum load is 4 seats, which opens up the difference with ordinary electric vehicles; in addition, the maximum vehicle is not more than 750 kg.
2, battery category, energy density
All the important components of the battery "electric vehicle", it is directly affecting the endurance of the vehicle, the previous "non-standard car" is mainly equipped with low-cost lead-acid batteries, but the "national standard" clarifies that the category of the battery does not include lead-acid batteries, and also the energy density of the battery is required, requiring no less than 70 wh /kg, the purpose of this is to make the vehicle's battery durability better, to avoid the problem of short battery life.
3. Speed, endurance, power
These 3 points are the key to the core of transportation, although the old scooter is relatively not so high on the speed, endurance, power requirements, but the standard is also clear, the speed of the vehicle can not be in the start of 30 minutes of the maximum speed, the requirement is 40 km / h to 70 km / h; the endurance can not be less than 100 km; the power requirement than the power within 10-20kw / t, such a requirement, changed the previous old scooter, speed, endurance, power is completely different, there is no upper or lower limit of the irregular situation To allow vehicles to drive on the road, it is necessary to meet certain hard standards.
4. The model is in the "Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products" catalog
The above 3 are for the parameters of the vehicle, the configuration of the standard, if the vehicle does not meet in this regard, it means that it is a "non-standard car", such a car is not recommended to choose, but even if all meet, in the parameters belong to the "national standard car", but can not buy, but also in line with this, in the "road motor vehicle manufacturers and products" directory, because only such models, only belong to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology market access models.
With the market access permit of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, it means that it has the qualification to be licensed, which is also the lack of the previous "non-standard" old scooter, so when the owner chooses the vehicle, he must inquire about the model on the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the vehicle that can be queried can be bought with confidence.
If the low-speed electric vehicle can meet all the standards of the above 4 articles, then, such an old scooter, the owner can be assured to buy, but after buying, the current old scooter is not the same as before, buy can be on the road at will, want to go on the road, it also needs to meet certain standards.
What standards can the old scooter meet to drive with confidence?
The old scooter is a four-wheeled vehicle, and it is an "electric" driven model, it does not meet the standards of the "Electric Bicycle Safety Technical Specifications", therefore, it belongs to the motor vehicle, which is also clear in the revised version of the "Technical Conditions for Pure Electric Passenger Cars", as a motor vehicle, it wants to drive on the road, at least in line with the following standards.
1. The license plate on the vehicle
Vehicles need to be licensed, this is beyond doubt, nowadays, even if the electric bicycle on the road, need to complete the real-name system registration on the license, but the current old scooters are unlicensed cars, which is also the main reason why many places restrict such vehicles on the road, therefore, buy a vehicle that meets the standards, the first time should be to give the vehicle a good license plate, so as to meet one of the basic standards on the road.
2. Insurance, annual inspection
As a motor vehicle, in order to have a basic guarantee for safety, there is a system of motor vehicle traffic insurance in China, so whether it is a motorcycle, an electric tricycle, an electric motorcycle needs to pay compulsory insurance, and low-speed electric vehicles are at least indispensable. As a motor vehicle, it also needs annual inspection, although it is now 6 years to exempt from the annual inspection, but the owner still has to apply for the annual inspection mark.
3. The driver holds a driver's license
As the driver of a motor vehicle, you need to hold a driver's license, which is known to many car owners, and the reason why the old scooter in the past is more casual on the road, there are problems such as running red lights, occupying the road, crossing the road, and crashing, is because there is no driver's license requirements for drivers, many drivers generally lack of awareness of traffic safety, and after the specification of low-speed electric vehicles on the road, drivers must hold a driver's license, in order to drive on the road.
The legal basis for the above three standards is Article 95 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: If a motor vehicle driving on the road does not hang a motor vehicle number plate, does not place an inspection pass mark or insurance sign, or does not carry a driving license or driver's license with the vehicle, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the motor vehicle. Therefore, if you want the vehicle to drive with confidence, the vehicle license, insurance, annual inspection, and driver's license are indispensable.
Conclusion: For the old scooter, in fact, it is not deliberately to "hit it", do not let it sell or on the road, what the relevant departments are doing at present is actually to standardize the vehicle, change the previous production without standards, the road without restraint of the "abnormal" status quo, now just let it restore the essence of the motor vehicle, let it produce on the correct track of the motor vehicle, on the road, then, as a car owner, as long as you buy a car, use the car to comply with the relevant standards, you can buy with confidence, rest assured to drive.
