With the popularity of electric transportation, many Hong Kong people have begun to choose Electric Bikes as their daily means of transportation, but the risks that come with it have also begun to attract attention. Therefore, the Hong Kong government is conducting research on the public use of electric mobility tools. According to the Hong Kong Business Daily website on the 10th, Electric Scooter and
Electric City Bike may be legalized as early as the end of the year.
Compared to electric vehicles that cost hundreds of thousands after taxes, compact and convenient electric scooters and
E Bike are more favored by ordinary Hong Kong citizens in terms of price. However, many Hong Kong media have discussed the safety hazards of electric vehicles without legislation. At the end of last year, the Hong Kong television program "Looking East and West" received a report from residents of Tin Shui Wai that
Electric Bicycles , Electric Balance Bikes , and other vehicles were frequently involved in reckless collisions, posing a danger to pedestrians. Many residents have expressed that some Electric Bicycles even ride on sidewalks at a very fast speed, and pedestrians should be particularly careful to avoid them when going out.
According to relevant departments, electric scooters and Electric Bicycles with handrails will be legalized as early as the end of this year, and related vehicles need to have safety verification and speed limit requirements. The Hong Kong government has always had regulatory requirements for Electric Bicycles , and only vehicles with a speed limit of 25 kilometers per hour or less can be sold and used in Hong Kong. Electric balance vehicles commonly known as "wind and fire wheels" will continue to be prohibited from use in Hong Kong due to their non-compliance with the requirements of the SAR government for lighting, braking systems, and other aspects. He believes that Electric Bicycles or Scooters can facilitate the transportation of citizens in remote areas, such as those who live far away from bus or subway stations, and can use them for commuting. He believes that after popularization, Hong Kong will gradually become a smart city.
