Recently, at the “Dual Carbon” Green Transportation Industry Development Seminar co-sponsored by the Shared Travel Branch of the China Transportation Association and the Songuo Think Tank, the Songuo Think Tank released the "2021 China County Shared Motorcycle Traffic Safety Report."
The "Report" pointed out that the current shared motorcycles are widely entering the county sinking market and become an important part of county public transportation. 49.2% of the county towns have shared motorcycles, and the development of the industry ushered in a historic opportunity.
The "Report" shows that from 2018 to 2019, the penetration rate of shared motorcycles increased from 2.5% to 11.3%.
At present, it has covered nearly half of the county and has become a daily travel tool for users in large counties.
Data show that in 2020, my country's social ownership of electric bicycles will reach 300 million.
From the perspective of private ownership, the average number of electric bicycles per 100 households in urban households is 57.5, and the average number of electric bicycles per 100 households in rural households is 74.8.
"In the past two years, under the influence of multiple factors such as the epidemic, some relatively deep changes have taken place in the short-distance transportation field." Non-contact, open space and other characteristics have become the first choice for many people to travel.
"The Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on the Complete, Accurate and Comprehensive Implementation of the New Development Concept to Do a Good Job in Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutralization" has clear directions for reducing carbon in the transportation sector. One is to optimize the transportation structure, and the other is to promote energy conservation and low carbon. The third is to actively guide low-carbon travel.” Wang Shuang, a researcher at the Academy of Sciences of the Ministry of Transport, pointed out that “sharing motorcycles covers two sectors, low-carbon vehicles and low-carbon travel, and is in line with future development trends.”
"With the development of my country's economy and society and the improvement of people's living standards, electric bicycles have become an important means of transportation for the people, especially residents of large counties, due to their economic and convenient characteristics." Xu Baoli, Former Second Inspector, Department of Transportation Services, Ministry of Transport Say.

"Compared with ownership, the right to use is the most important." For motorcycles, Zhu Wei, director of the Communication Law Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, affirmed the value of "sharing" instead of "self-purchasing". Charge".
Since shared motorcycles entered the large county market, traffic safety has been the most concerned issue for enterprises, governments, and users.
The "Report" shows that the main cause of shared motorcycle accidents lies in the lack of safety awareness of users.
The accident rate of shared motorcycles is significantly lower than that of household motorcycles and motorcycles.
With the multi-pronged safety control and persuasion of shared motorcycles, residents' awareness of traffic safety has increased significantly.
“The time is ripe for the development of shared motorcycles in small cities.” Gai Chunying, deputy director of the Transportation Planning Institute of Beijing Urban Planning and Design Institute, pointed out that the current big cities must first solve the top-level design of shared motorcycles, while users in small cities have As soon as it is needed, shared motorcycle companies should work with government departments to study the role of shared motorcycles in the urban integrated transportation system, and strengthen planning and top-level design.
