Beijing released a shared bicycle opinion. Theo without GPS positioning can only be recalled.

"Guidelines for Beijing to encourage the development and sharing of bicycles (Trial) (Consultation Draft)" (hereinafter referred to as "Guidance Opinions"", urge enterprises to strengthen the management of shared bicycles, maintain the city's traffic order, and restore the city's neat cityscape. In the meantime, there are clear regulations on the shared bicycle GPS positioning, the timely recovery of abandoned vehicles, and the prohibition of riding for children under the age of 12. After the release of the opinions, analysts believe that the current product and management of the ofo shared bicycles are almost inconsistent with opinions. After rectification, how long it is to "ride" after theo, I really want to make a big question mark.

The industry believes that although the "opinions" are still drafts for comment, they have revealed a strong regulatory signal, and it is inevitable that shared bicycles will be unified and standardized.

In the shared bicycle product specification, “Opinions” pointed out that “(shared bicycle) operating enterprises should be equipped with satellite positioning devices for vehicle piles or vehicles. The “Technical Specifications for Shared Bicycle Systems” focuses on operating vehicles, enterprise operating platforms, and municipal supervision and Service platforms, data exchange and other content have been uniformly regulated.

Today, ofo shared bicycles, although repeatedly said to have developed GPS-located mechanical and electronic locks (ie smart locks), only 1% of vehicles with new locks on the market, most still use mechanical locks without GPS positioning. This also makes it difficult for the ofo shared bicycles to accurately control the vehicle information, not to mention the vehicle and operational service information to the city's unified shared bicycle information platform. If the "opinion" is finally implemented as a hard policy, the ofo shared bicycles will have to recall products on a large scale, replacing and equipped with smart locks. The huge expenditures, and whether the ofo platform can really apply smart locks on a large scale, have made people sweat a lot of ofo.

"Opinions" pointed out that shared bicycle companies should strengthen operational scheduling and maintenance management, even if recycling of abandoned vehicles. This presumption became the sword of Damocles hanging over the ofo. The ofo shared bicycles with a damage rate of nearly 40%, making vehicle recycling and vehicle maintenance very difficult.

Not long ago, some media reported that a section of the road section of Chaoyang District, about 1 km long, was covered by the small orange car by nearly 300 meters. The damaged ofo bicycles were nearly 10,000 vehicles, and the damaged yellow car was also shipped. The car repairman said that the high-intensity work every day, the repair speed is still unable to catch up with the speed of the damaged car. Such a grim situation also exists in other cities where theo is launched. How to effectively manage the vehicle and reduce the damage rate? It is obvious that the passive response method of repairing the vehicle to repair the vehicle can not solve the fundamental problem. Upgrading the product is the only solution.

"Opinions" Children under the age of 12 are not allowed to ride. The introduction of this opinion may be related to the frequent occurrence of bicycle accidents with 12-year-old children riding theo. On the afternoon of March 26, at the intersection of Tianzhu Road, Zhejiang North Road, Shanghai, an 11-year-old boy riding a bicycle shared a bicycle collided with a bus and died after being sent to the hospital. On the afternoon of April 4th, a child under the age of 12 used the ofo to share a bicycle in a car accident. The handle of the bicycle was inserted directly into the child's neck, which was shocking. Because ofo mechanical locks, children under the age of 12 bypassed the mobile phone to register directly riding a bicycle is not difficult, which makes the real name verification into a display. After the incident, including the Shanghai Bicycle Association, they had asked theo to re-develop smart locks and satellite positioning to replace the existing design to prevent children under the age of 12 from riding.
