The new national standards may have a serious impact on lead-acid battery industry
Last enhance the role of China's electric bicycles to national standards, it can lead to serious consequences on the electric bicycle industry panic. Until madness lead the industry in China in the growth of demand.
China National Standardization AdministrationVGP-BPS8, VGP-BPS8A, ,VGP-BPS8B Committee at its website ,reaffirmed in 1999 published "electric bicycle general technical conditions" national standards, arguing that the standard specifies a maximum design speed of a bicycle more than 20 kilometers, transport vehicle mass (weight) does not exceed 40 kg.
In China, the motorcycle must have a driver's license and insurance, the owners of electric bicycles are not currently subject to these restrictions.
(Electric bicycle) industrial development will be limited, Zhejiang Province Sales Manager manufacturer of electric bicycle batteries, said: "(these standards) do not satisfy consumer demand."
He said a lot of electric bicycles designed more than 30 kilometers per hour, typically have four batteries, rechargeable batteries weighing 16-28 kg.
According to the China Bicycle Association, the data in 2008 China production of 2100 million electric bicycles in 2007 production of 2000 million dollars. In the production of last year's data, the average yield of about 1.75 million, more than 10 published by the National Bureau of Statistics monthly production of 681.4 thousand. National Bureau of Statistics released this year, production of electric bicycles data.
Bureau of Statistics figures show that the first 10 months of this year, production of electric bicycles in China rose 9.2% to 5.92 million. It is not clear that the reason the two sets of data access.
In accordance with the "financial" site on the battery for laptop Chinese report, China is currently about 120 million to keep electric bicycles.
Manufacturers of electric bicycle, said that most electric bike weighing over 40 kg more than 20 kilometers per hour. China Central Television in the English Sunday newspaper said that the new provision could seriously affect the cycling power industry, because of declining demand, is expected to lead r.
Electric Bicycle in China drop in demand could reduce demand for lead. China has prepared a battery of electric bicycle typically takes 3.7 kg of lead, depending on the charge.
