Recently, the Municipal Traffic Police Detachment received multiple reports of electric bicycle accidents, all of which were found to be related to "loose pedals". On the morning rush hour of October 12th, Ms. Wang's right foot pedal suddenly fell off while riding, causing the vehicle to lose control and fall, resulting in minor leg abrasions.
Reporters visited multiple car repair shops and found that pedal looseness is often caused by screws rusting and buckles aging after long-term use. Repair technician Li reminds that the pedal fixing components should be checked weekly, and any abnormal noise or shaking should be promptly reinforced. The Municipal Market Supervision Bureau has interviewed three electric bicycle brands, requiring them to optimize pedal connection design and plan to conduct special quality inspections to ensure the safety of citizens' travel.
