The Ministry of Public Security has launched the "One Helmet One Belt" security guard operation nationwide, and many governments have announced that they will strictly investigate helmet wearing behavior of motorcycle and electric bicycle drivers. The original intention of these policies is to regulate cycling behavior and ensure people's traffic safety.
However, after the introduction of the policy, electric vehicles Helmet Demand is rising rapidly, "online and offline" sales are unusually hot, and the selling price is even higher. "One Helmet Belt" Electric vehicle helmet This seems to be a small business, and Agile has become a hot market. With the issuance of the Ministry of Public Security on May 20 that "the legal punishment scope of the" one helmet area "is limited to motorcycle riders who do not wear helmets, and automobile riders who do not use seat belts, but do not make rigid regulations on electric bicycles", the electric bicycle helmet stores all cooled down, the price gradually returned to normal, and defective helmets gradually surfaced.
The author input the label of "electric vehicle helmet" in Taobao, Jingdong, Pinduoduo, Suning and other shopping channels, and found that many sellers sell electric vehicle helmets, and the sales volume is considerable, but the prices are varied, ranging from 15.9 yuan to 468 yuan. A helmet priced at 19.8 yuan leads the sales list with 48000 sales. As the saying goes, "One penny for one thing", is there any guarantee for the quality of the helmet that can be bought for 19 yuan or 30 yuan or 40 yuan? Is it safe and qualified? Can I "save my life" at a critical moment? According to the national motorcycle production standards, a helmet is usually composed of a shell, a buffer layer, comfort pads, wearing devices, goggles and other parts. The shell and buffer layer are the key parts of the helmet to absorb collision energy and protect the head from injury, while other configurations will have a direct impact on the protective effect of the helmet. The person in charge of a helmet production brand said: "If the helmet is produced according to the national standard, the cost of each helmet is about 50-60 yuan, and the selling price will be more than 100 yuan." The so-called "high-quality and inexpensive" helmets in the market are mostly "defective products" without production information, qualified quality, and manufacturers. However, most consumers generally lack the awareness of quality and safety, and only seek "beautiful price" without paying attention to safety performance, which gives "defective products" an opportunity. At the same time, for electric vehicle helmets, relevant parts of the country have not issued corresponding production standards. The standard blank makes the whole shopping mall mixed.
Safety is no trivial matter. Only when you buy a safe electric car helmet can you have a solid "escort". On the one hand, consumers should enhance their awareness of quality and safety and pay more attention to helmets. When purchasing helmets, they should buy regular products with certificates, 3C logo, performance standards and EPS foam. On the other hand, the relevant parts of the country should issue a unified production standard for electric vehicle helmets. The standard helmet store should ensure product quality, ensure the healthy development of the store, and serve consumers and the entire profession.
