Company No.9： Ensuring the safety of electric bicycles means helping the long-term sustainable development of the industry.

On May 30th, Nanjing Newspaper Media Group and Jiangsu Business Daily jointly held a "Public Welfare Lecture on Electric Vehicle Safety Science Popularization" in Nanjing. In this lecture, the Nanjing Fire Rescue Detachment and the Mobile Brigade of the Traffic Management Bureau of Nanjing Public Security Bureau were specially invited to have in-depth exchanges on topics such as how to improve the fire safety awareness of electric bicycles and popularize the safe use norms of electric bicycles from three aspects: products, fire protection and travel.

As a participant in the industry and a leading enterprise of intelligent electric two-wheeled vehicles in China, Company No.9 is actively fulfilling its corporate social responsibility while promoting the intelligent transformation of the whole industry through technological innovation, and working together with local fire departments, traffic control departments, market supervision departments, etc., by popularizing the safety of electric vehicles, it advocates users not to modify and travel safely, and makes unremitting efforts to create a safe and healthy travel environment and promote the long-term sustainable development of the whole industry.

In fact, China is one of the countries with the largest number of electric bicycles in the world. Up to now, the number of electric bicycles in China has exceeded 400 million, with an average of one in every four people, and it is still in an incremental state. Electric bicycles have become an important part of China’s transportation system. Therefore, ensuring the safety of electric bicycles, to some extent, is to help the industry move towards a healthier and longer-term future. In this context, from the new national standard "Technical Specification for Safety of Electric Bicycles" (GB 17761-2018) issued in 2019 to the "Technical Specification for Safety of Lithium-ion Batteries for Electric Bicycles" (GB 43854—2024) published in May this year, the relevant policy standards and industry specifications have become more and more perfect, from the emphasis on vehicle safety to battery safety.

As the fastest-growing brand of electric two-wheeled vehicle in the industry in recent years, No.9 Company has subverted the traditional riding experience, and its integrated intelligence and highly recognizable appearance design are the main factors for users to choose No.9, but the more important point is that No.9 always takes user value as the center, attaches great importance to user safety, and has developed a series of practical functions for this purpose, so as to truly reassure users. For example, Company No.9 can provide more than 20 battery protection measures such as double over-current, short-circuit and over-voltage protection for batteries through the self-developed BMS intelligent battery management system, and the self-developed vehicle networking system can monitor each battery in real time to realize different levels of battery risk warning; Intelligent functions such as TCS traction control system, linear ABS anti-lock braking system and RSC tail-lifting suppression system ensure users’ riding safety; Intelligent ride induction based on No.9 true intelligent system can effectively prevent the risk of car jumping, while AHRS attitude induction system can realize the alarm of vehicle change and dumping, and actively notify emergency contacts of accidents.

It is worth mentioning that Company No.9 is also actively promoting the safety of electric bicycle vehicles with relevant departments based on its extensive market influence and more than 5,400 stores nationwide. Previously, Company No.9, together with Beijing Haidian District Market Supervision Administration and Beijing Blue Sky Rescue Team, held many activities such as "Safe Entry of Electric Vehicles into the Community", distributed more than 10,000 copies of the Safety Manual for Two-wheeled Electric Vehicles to users, and provided free vehicle inspection and maintenance services to thousands of users, and answered questions for users more than 10,000 times online and offline.

Of course, in the face of the big issue of the safe use of electric vehicles, in addition to the need for enterprises to set an example and fulfill the main responsibilities of the market, it is also necessary for users to use electric vehicles correctly and standardly. Mei Liang, a first-class assistant in the Press and Publicity Department of Nanjing Fire and Rescue Detachment, combined with the case of electric bicycle fire in recent years, stressed that in daily use of electric bicycles, it is necessary to regularly check whether the lines are aging, not to charge indoors, and call the police in time if any abnormal situation is found. Yang Zhihao, secretary-general of the Working Committee of Nanjing Traffic Management Bureau, called on users to abide by traffic regulations and ride safely, and not to modify electric bicycles privately to avoid traffic accidents caused by illegal operations. In addition, Jiangsu Business Daily, together with Nanjing Fire and Rescue Team, Nanjing Traffic Management Bureau and No.9 Company, jointly issued the Manual for Safe Use of Electric Bicycles, which provides a comprehensive specification for the safe use of electric bicycles.

In the eyes of the industry, the gradual improvement and refinement of regulatory policies is the leading condition to promote the progress of the industry, and ensuring the safety of electric vehicles is the core to determine the long-term healthy development of the industry. In this regard, it is necessary for users to cultivate and establish the awareness of safe use of electric vehicles, and it is also necessary for enterprises to continuously improve the quality of electric bicycle products through technological innovation and high-standard production, so as to protect the safety of users from the source.
