Safety hidden trouble of old scooter

With the continuous emergence of the old scooter, the hidden dangers of road traffic safety brought by it are also highlighted, which not only disrupts the normal road traffic order. However, there are great security risks. At present, the so-called "old scooter" driving on the expressway mainly refers to the illegally assembled or assembled three-wheeled or four-wheeled vehicles which are powered by batteries or fuel, with various brakes and throttles built in, and generally have a speed of 40 to 50 kilometers per hour. Brake parts are mostly designed by holding the brake, which is relatively thin, easy to be damaged, with high failure rate, and requires a lot of force to step on. Some elderly scooters engage in illegal business activities around stations, hospitals, shopping malls, supermarkets and other areas, disrupting the traffic management order, affecting the normal traffic management order and causing confusion in the passenger transport market. In addition, the driver of the vehicle does not have a motor vehicle driving license, and the vehicle is illegally assembled (assembled). There is no legal registration procedure, no license and insurance, and no business qualification.

1, fast speed, fierce start.

The so-called "old scooter" on the market has a speed of 40 -50 kilometers per hour, which is extremely fast and has great security risks.

The most intuitive way to know the speed is to look at the dashboard of the car. Of course, the "old scooter" with dashboard shown below is definitely an over-speed "old scooter".

2. The chassis is high, light and easy to fall over.

The height of the car chassis can be seen from the height of the pedal from the ground. As we all know, a car with a low chassis has a low center of gravity, and it is very stable when driving, so it is not easy to overturn. On the contrary, a car with a high height from the ground has a high center of gravity and poor safety when driving. Especially in high-speed driving, cars are easy to float and roll over.

3. The brake parts are thin and easy to be damaged.

This kind of "old scooter" is assembled by unqualified small factories or individuals themselves. In order to maximize the benefits of these assembled products, the spare parts used are inferior and cheap, which has great security risks. In the warning, China Consumers Association also mentioned that "the brake parts are thin and easy to be damaged", and the "old scooter" equipped with such inferior brakes, coupled with its overweight body, has great inertia when driving at high speed, and often has accidents because of poor brakes, becoming a real road killer.

4. The internal wiring is inferior, rough and messy, and easy to spontaneously ignite.

Inferior accessories, rough processing and no professional testing equipment make this kind of "old scooter" have a very high probability of spontaneous combustion.

March 13, 18, "live broadcast of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei" reported: "Suqian, Jiangsu: the scooter for the elderly will be scrapped spontaneously after buying it for half a year"

2065438+021October 24th, 10, Beijing Morning Post also reported that the old scooter spontaneously ignited, and the 68-year-old man escaped in time without being injured.

2012 65438+129 October, China news reported "The old scooter turns from fever to scrap iron on the street".

5. Less safety protection and no collision test.

6. The axle structure is unreasonable.

Careful observation of this "old scooter" will reveal that its axles are all bridge-type design. This design will lead to small track and easy rollover. At the same time, the axle is exposed, which is easy to drag things and extremely unsafe.

2011165438+1On October 25th, the Shanghai Evening News reported that a middle-aged foreign language teacher died after wearing a scarf for three rounds, because the scarf around her neck was wrapped around the axle while riding an electric tricycle. The axle design of an electric tricycle that took away the life of a female teacher is the axle design of an "old scooter" on the market at present.
