Electric two wheeled vehicles, electric scooters, and other non motorized vehicles with a speed of less than 20 kilometers per hour can be connected to buses and subways to reduce excessive use of private cars, alleviate parking difficulties, congestion, pollution, and emissions, make our travel more convenient, and also make the concept of green and low-carbon transportation a high social consensus. "In late October, at the theme seminar on" Technology empowers new scenarios in the short transportation industry ", Xiong Yanwu, a researcher at the Science Research Institute of the Ministry of Transport, expressed her views on China's first new national standard for electric scooters.

The reporter learned that with the release of China's first national standard GB/T 42825-2023 "General Technical Specifications for Electric Scooters" in August this year, electric scooters, which have always been popular in recent years, have officially entered a new stage of standardized development with "laws" to follow.

From being a standard accessory for fashion influencers to a magical tool for short distance travel, electric scooters have become a favorite among more and more young people nowadays. Industry insiders point out that electric scooters, which have multiple attributes such as fashion, convenience, and flexibility, not only showcase their power in closed road sections such as enterprise parks, campuses, and parks, but also truly connect the "last mile" of travel. They have also sparked a new wave of short distance travel in the market with advantages such as low-carbon and green.

The company is located in a large development zone, and electric scooters have become the standard equipment for almost every employee in the park, saving time and effort by commuting to and from work and going to the cafeteria for meals. "Consumer Yu Qing, who works for an entrepreneurial company in Haidian District, Beijing, told reporters that with the increasing demand for use, his electric scooters have also been upgraded from the initial few hundred yuan product to a" ten thousand yuan single product ". He stated that from a personal user experience perspective, there are significant differences in the functionality, quality, and riding experience of electric scooters of different styles, prices, and brands. However, compared to traditional bicycles and other means of transportation, their advantages such as low energy consumption and flexibility are very significant.

The reporter learned that the popular electric scooters nowadays not only meet the short distance travel needs of consumers, but also have unique leisure and entertainment properties. At the same time, their use of lithium batteries as power is more in line with the green, environmental protection, and low-carbon policy directions of countries around the world. However, due to the long-term lack of unified standards in the industry, related products are mixed.

Another Beijing university student, Du Jie, also told reporters that it is becoming increasingly common for college students to ride smart scooters on campus. Not only is it convenient to go anywhere, but it is also very fashionable and trendy. However, Du Jie also admitted that the frequent quality issues of low-end electric scooters in previous news have made him hesitate in product selection. "With the implementation of new regulations, in the future, when choosing new products, it will definitely be more 'stylish'
