From the division of the new national standard of electric vehicles, it can be seen that electric bicycles have become the only personal travel tool that can go on the road without a driver's license. In other words, riding a beloved motorcycle in the past will be replaced by riding a beloved motorcycle. So what makes the country put electric bicycles in such a just-needed position?

Maybe we can understand this problem from the product form itself. As a morphological evolution of traditional bicycles, electric bicycles retain the function of pedals to provide power, and can make riding easier with the help of electric power, while electric motorcycles usually put the starting power on the handle and can fly by twisting the car.

From a safety point of view, the kinetic energy of the pedal has an obvious trend, which can make other people walking and driving clearly see its movement track, thus avoiding it and allowing everyone to drive calmly and safely.

The starting, acceleration and deceleration of electric motorcycles are purely manual, which is difficult to be found, so accidents often occur. This should be why the new national standard for electric vehicles mandates that only vehicles with pedal function can become electric bicycles.

To sum up, as a safer and more flexible travel tool, electric bicycles are singled out by the new national standard, which is understandable. Throughout the market, in order to meet the new national standard, most traditional electric vehicle enterprises forcibly add pedal function to the body of electric motorcycles, which seems out of place, and also leads to the rare electric vehicle products that truly meet the national promotion.

Bicycle has a history of 100 years since its invention, and it is still the mainstream personal commuting artifact. I also hope that it can further serve mankind under the new national standard.
