Selection of electric vehicle styles

1. There are three main types of electric vehicle drive modes: one is hub drive, one is mid-mounted drive, and the other is suspended drive. The electric bicycles on the market are mainly hub-driven, and hub drive is better for rear-wheel drive, while front-wheel drive performance is relatively poor.

2. The placement of the battery, considering the balance of the whole vehicle and the convenience of getting on and off the vehicle, is better to place the battery in the oblique tube or vertical tube of the frame. The configured battery is basically an economical lead-acid battery. At present, most electric bicycles use 36V12AH lead-acid batteries; 24V12AH batteries are less chosen by consumers due to their short range.

Functional style selection

1. Standard type: This type of electric vehicle has a motor power of 150W, and is characterized by a simple and smooth shape, a range of 40 to 50km, easy operation, and a moderate price of about 2,000 to 2,600 yuan. It is more suitable for users who have a long commute distance and have a certain degree of mobility in work and life.

2. Multifunctional type: This type of electric vehicle is generally based on the standard type with front fork shock absorbers, saddle shock absorbers, headlights, electric horns, etc. It is characterized by more functions, more comfortable riding, and more convenient use at night. The price is generally around 2,500 to 3,000 yuan.

3. Luxury type: This type of electric vehicle is characterized by a relatively novel and luxurious shape and more complete functions. Usually, a dashboard is added to the handlebar to display speed, mileage, voltage, power, etc. Some are also equipped with turn signals, language prompts, rearview mirrors, tool boxes, safety nets, etc. The price is usually around 3,000 to 3,400 yuan.

Specification selection

Electric bicycles are generally 610mm in length. At present, manufacturers are also designing and manufacturing 660mm or 560mm electric bicycles to meet the needs of consumers at different levels.

Brand selection

Brand is a symbol of quality. Different brands have different quality levels. Consumers must choose brands that have been tested by authoritative departments and have been proven to be reliable in quality, low in repair rate, good after-sales service and high in reputation. Consumers can pay attention to the "Reputation Mark" issued by the China Bicycle Association on electric bicycles.

Key points for on-site purchase

1. Choose the appropriate specifications, styles and colors according to your actual needs and preferences.

2. First select the appearance quality of the vehicle, mainly to see whether the trademarks and decals are intact, and whether the surface quality of the painted parts, electroplated parts, plastic parts and aluminum alloy parts is satisfactory.

3. Check the quality of vehicle assembly, which should be:

a. All kinds of screws are tightened in place and not loose.

b. The handlebars, wheels, chains, cranks, and pedals should be flexible, and the rims should be round and fast with small round runout.

c. The handlebars, saddles, mudboards, hangers, and brackets should be installed straight or symmetrically, without obvious deviation.

d. There should be no friction between moving parts (such as chains, cranks, wheels, etc.) and fixed parts (such as chain covers, mud plates, etc.).

4. The ignition key and battery lock should be tried out to ensure safety, reliability and ease of use. The ignition lock, battery lock and toolbox lock should use the same key for the most convenient use.

5. Turn on the ignition, turn the speed change handle, check the stepless speed change and brake (brake) power off and braking effect, and check whether the motor runs smoothly and the sound is normal.

6. For multi-functional and luxury electric bicycles, all functions should also be checked to ensure they are intact and normal.

7. Finally, collect the invoice, charger, certificate of conformity, instruction manual, warranty card, etc. and keep them properly.
