Price increase of safety helmets for electric bicycles in Tai 'an (Tai 'an electric bicycles do not wear helmets)

In order to effectively protect the life safety of motorcycle and electric bicycle riders and motor vehicle drivers, and reduce traffic accident deaths, the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security has deployed the national "One Helmet and One Belt" security guard action. Since the action, local public security traffic control departments have insisted on publicity and guidance first, industry demonstration and guidance, and widely mobilized the masses to participate. The people's awareness of wearing safety helmets and using safety belts has been significantly enhanced.

With the centralized release of the demand for safety helmets for electric bicycles, the prices of safety helmets sold by some enterprises and platforms have skyrocketed. The Ministry of Public Security attaches great importance to this and actively communicates with the State Administration of Market Supervision, instructing local public security organs to actively cooperate with market supervision departments to strictly investigate price violations according to law and cut off the illegal chain of driving up helmet prices.

The Ministry of Public Security requires that all localities should steadily promote the "one helmet and one belt" security operation. From June 1 day, the scope of law enforcement punishment is limited to traffic violations that ride motorcycles without helmets and drive cars without seat belts. For those who ride electric bicycles without helmets, they will continue to carry out publicity and guidance work, actively create conditions to help people wear helmets, and remind people with helmets to wear helmets consciously. All localities will determine the time for the implementation of legal investigation and correction according to the actual situation in the region, and pay attention to humanized, rational and flexible law enforcement, and pay attention to the unity of legal, political and social effects.

The Ministry of Public Security reminds drivers and passengers that safety helmets and seat belts can protect you from fatal injuries at critical moments. For the safety of you and your family, please wear safety helmet consciously and fasten your seat belt actively.

At the same time, enterprises that produce and sell safety helmets are reminded to abide by laws and regulations, operate in good faith, do not do things that infringe on the interests of the masses, do not disrupt market order, and do not do illegal and criminal things. The public security organs will severely crack down on enterprises and individuals suspected of committing crimes.
