How to choose a satisfactory electric bicycle?

Although there are many articles about choosing or buying electric bicycles on the Internet, I feel that most of the articles about "easy to buy electric bicycles" are superficial: most of them just say that buying big brands and good quality, and there are few specific ways to buy electric bicycles. So how to choose a satisfactory electric bicycle?

First, the main points of purchasing electric bicycles: style selection

1, rear-wheel drive electric bicycles are better.

There are three main driving modes of electric bicycles (some of them are divided into five types): one is hub drive, the other is center drive and the other is suspension drive. Although the central drive is advanced, the first type-hub drive is still the main type of electric bicycles on the market. Hub drive is better than rear wheel drive, while front wheel drive performance is relatively poor.

2. The location of the battery.

Considering the balance of the whole vehicle and the convenience of getting on and off, it is best to put the battery in the inclined tube or vertical tube of the frame, and the batteries are basically economical lead-acid batteries. At present, most electric bicycles use 36V or 48v lead-acid batteries; Because the battery with 24V 12AH has a short continuous mileage, consumers have fewer choices.

Second, the main points of purchasing electric bicycles: functional styles

1, standard type: the motor power of this kind of electric vehicle is generally 150W, which is characterized by simple and smooth appearance, continuous driving mileage of about 40km, simple operation, moderate price, and the price is about 2,000-2,500 yuan, which is more suitable for users who have a short commute distance and a certain mobility in their work and life.

2. Multifunctional type: This kind of electric bicycle is generally equipped with front fork shock absorber, saddle shock absorber, headlight and electric horn on the basis of standard type. It is characterized by more functions, more comfortable riding and more convenient use at night. The price is generally around 2500 yuan to 3000 yuan, and it can travel about 50 kilometers.

3. Luxury: This kind of electric car is characterized by novel and luxurious modeling and more complete functions. Usually, an instrument panel is added to the handlebar to display the speed, mileage, voltage and power, and some of them are also equipped with turn signals, language prompts, rearview mirrors, toolboxes and safety nets. The price is generally around 3,500 yuan to 4,500 yuan, and the driving distance of luxury electric vehicles can be around 60 kilometers.

Third, the main points of purchasing electric bicycles: specifications and brands

1. The general number of electric bicycles is 6 10 mm. At present, manufacturers have designed and manufactured 660mm or 560mm electric bicycles to meet the needs of consumers at different levels.

2. About the brand of electric vehicles. To tell the truth, the electric vehicle market is still in an immature stage, and various brands of electric vehicles are mixed. "Easy shopping" I personally think that electric cars like Xinri brand, Luyuan brand and Giant are all good. As for other brands, consumers can pay attention to the "reputation mark" issued by China Bicycle Association on electric bicycles.

Fourth, the main points of electric bicycle purchase Fourth, the main points of on-site purchase

1, according to my actual needs and preferences, choose the appropriate specifications, styles and colors.

2. First, choose the appearance quality of electric bicycle vehicles, mainly depending on whether the trademarks and decals are in good condition, and whether the surface quality of paint parts, electroplated parts, plastic parts and aluminum alloy parts is satisfactory.

3. Check the quality of vehicle assembly, which should be as follows: a. All kinds of screws are fastened in place without looseness. B handlebars, wheels, chains, cranks and pedals should be flexible to operate, and the rim should have a circumferential speed and a small amount of circumferential runout. C handlebars, car seats, clay tablets, clothes hangers and brackets shall be installed vertically or symmetrically without obvious deviation. D moving parts (such as chains, cranks, wheels, etc.). ) and fixing parts (such as chain cover, clay board, etc.). ) Do not rub.

4. Try the switch key and battery lock, which should be safe, reliable and easy to use. It is most convenient to use a key for electric door locks, battery locks and toolbox locks.

5, turn on the switch, turn the speed change handle, check the stepless speed change and braking (braking) power failure and braking effect, check whether the motor is running smoothly and color.

6. Multi-functional and luxurious electric bicycles should also check whether the functions are in good condition.

7. Finally, invoices, chargers, certificates of conformity, instructions for use, three-guarantee cards, etc. Should be collected and properly kept.

◆ Summary of main points for purchasing electric bicycles:

The first point: check the appearance to see if the surface of paint and electroplated parts is intact.

Point 2: according to the instructions, check the working condition of the whole vehicle. The transition of speed regulation should be smooth, and there should be no impact when starting. Wheel rotation should be flexible, without stagnation. Wheel hub rotation sound should be soft, no abnormal sound. Brake should have moderate elasticity and reliability.

Third, check the auxiliary functions (such as power display, speed and mileage display, etc.). ) are in a normal state.

The fourth point: whether the accessories, chargers, certificates, manuals and warranty cards attached to the vehicle are complete.

◆ Finally, "Easy to buy" I want to remind you of two points:

In the process of purchasing electric bicycles, in addition to the above points, there are two places that are easily overlooked:

1, service is very important: because the parts of electric vehicles are not popular and the maintenance is not socialized, you should pay attention to whether there is special after-sales service in the local area when buying electric vehicles. If the scheme is cheap and after-sales service is neglected, it is easy to be fooled. Moreover, electric vehicles are different from bicycles, and the technology content is still relatively high. If it's broken, it's hard to repair it yourself.

2. Look at accessories: the strength and performance requirements of electric vehicles for accessories are higher than those of bicycles. When you buy, you should look at the quality of the selected parts of the whole vehicle, such as whether the motor, battery, tire, controller and charger are genuine manufacturers of well-known brands.

3. Parents who plan to pick up their children are reminded to check whether the welding and surface of the frame and front fork are defective, whether the double supports are firm, and whether the fasteners are rustproof. To avoid falling on the child.
