The last sentence in this article says that it's not official. It's just information that has been going around the Internet.

"记者从车管部门也了解到,配套新国标的电动自行车管理办法尚未出台,目前他们对电动车的管理还是按照现行规定执行。"

My gf told me that on the news there was an interview to the Police about this issue. The Police denied everything, they said it's just a rumor going on the Internet.

I have a Chinese driving license. Does that mean I don't need to worry? I just carry the driving license with me and I'll be fine?

The thing is when I tried to register my e-bike they told me that mine can not be registered. It looks like they want to get rid of that brand...

I know one Jasmine and you should totally avoid her. I worked with her 3 years ago and I will never again.

Before there was another Jasmine that changed her name to Lia (tintin on Gokunming) to avoid being mistaken with the first Jasmine I told you. Lia is great, you can trust her. (she doesn't use the name Jasmine anymore).

There is also an agent called ChenChen. I don't know her but people say she is very good too.

There might be a third Jasmine? I don't know about that.

So now even old bicycles are going to be faster than e-bikes?
And what company is going to want to insure e-bikes??

The problem are not the e-bikes, but the people that ride them. I've been using one for more than two years almost everyday without any accident. The problem are the drivers that don't know anything about how to drive, and the cars that just don't care and turn without looking! Never! Most of the accidents I've seen with e-bikes it's because a car turns at full speed without even looking if there are e-bikes coming. The e-bike doesn't have time to stop.

E-bikes cross red lights, go the wrong direction, use pedestrian sidewalks, etc. Give a fine to these people, don't just ban e-bikes...

My e-bike is a big-heavy one and I always ride it with my gf on the back because right now I can't afford another e-bike. And even if I could, I find it stupid riding two e-bikes to the same place when we could ride only one.

So if they ban my e-bike I'm not going to buy two more e-bikes. Maybe what they want is that I buy a car, I think there is still a spot for one more car on the roads.

I vote for only big-high speed e-bikes on the streets and no cars. LOL
