On June 1 this year, the whole country will carry out the "One Helmet One Belt" guard action. "Helmets" refer to helmets, and "belts" refer to seat belts. At that time, the national traffic police will carry out unified operations to strictly investigate the behaviors of not wearing helmets and safety belts. The Regulations of Jiangsu Province on the Administration of Electric Bicycles, which will be implemented on July 1 this year, also stipulates that people must wear helmets when riding electric bicycles. If they do not wear helmets, the traffic management department of the public security organ will give them a warning or impose a fine of more than 20 yuan but less than 50 yuan.
On the evening of May 15, Mr. Zhang, a citizen, bought two helmets at 118 yuan and 87 yuan in an online shop. This morning, the prices of these two helmets have quietly increased. The helmet worth 118 yuan rose to 158 yuan, and the helmet worth 87 yuan rose to 149 yuan.
Xu Shi Rong Media reporter checked many stores, and many businesses said that they could not determine the specific delivery time due to tight supply. The helmets of a well-known brand electric vehicles are out of stock.
On the market Electric vehicle helmet How is it going?
Has the price gone up?
At noon this afternoon, a large wholesale market in the downtown area found that the business of "helmets" in the market was booming, and almost every stall put helmets in the most prominent position. Some shops originally did not sell helmets, but now there are boxes of helmets in front of the store, and people are buying them.
The price of helmets on sale in the market ranges from 45 yuan to 150 yuan, among which the best selling helmets are those within 100 yuan. Compared with a few days ago, the price of helmets has risen a lot. Now the price of helmets keeps rising, three prices a day. Since the new regulations for electric vehicles came out, many people came to buy helmets, and the manufacturer could not produce them in time, resulting in high ex factory prices. Now they are scrambling for goods, and the prices are higher than before. After comparing the helmets sold by several vendors, it is found that these helmets vary from the hardness of the helmets, to the straps of the helmets, to the plastic materials inside. At present, the types of electric vehicle helmets sold on the market are quite diverse, including full helmet, 3/4 helmet, half helmet, and flip up helmet, with different prices, materials, and weights.
What kind of helmet is qualified?
When selling helmets, a businessman always emphasized their comfort and good vision, and never mentioned safety and certification. Some businesses even sell some three no products. Like this 45 yuan helmet, it is very simple and crude, without any logo.
It is understood that at present, there is only the national standard of Motorcycle Passenger Helmets in China, and there is no national standard of electric vehicle passenger helmets. Last year, Zhejiang Yueqing Helmet Industry Association, where helmet manufacturers are concentrated, formulated the Group Standard for Electric Bicycle Crew Helmets, which stipulates that helmets are composed of shells, buffer layers, wearing devices, etc. The new ABS materials are tough and durable, and the helmet quality (including accessories) is not more than 800g. This standard is also a local industry group standard, Whether it is finally unified into the national standard of Motorcycle Passenger Helmets remains to be further observed.
Industry insiders suggest that citizens, no matter what kind of helmet they buy, must meet the "3C" compulsory certification. Such helmets meet the qualification standards in "collision energy absorption performance" and "penetration resistance performance".
3C quality certification
In addition, when wearing helmets, citizens should choose their own size and adjust the adjuster; The helmet shall be worn horizontally; The webbing used to fix the helmet must also have the correct fixing position.
