According to data from consultancy Intelligence Research Group, the total number of e-bikes in China reached 325 million last year.
根据咨询公司Intelligence Research Group的数据，去年中国电动自行车的总数达到3.25亿辆。
A recent IRG report said e-bikes have gradually attracted the attention of consumers because of their convenience, low cost, eco-friendly characteristics and other advantages. Today many families still choose to buy e-bikes for short-distance rides even if they own a car.
IRG最近的一份报告称，电动自行车因其方便、低成本、环保等优点逐渐引起了消费者的关注。如今，即使有车，许多家庭仍然选择购买电动自行车进行短途骑行。
According to the report, China's e-bike sector is developing rapidly and has a relatively mature industrial chain. The country's e-bike production has maintained growth for four consecutive years. Last year, e-bike production reached 3.96 million units.
据报道，中国电动自行车行业发展迅速，产业链相对成熟。中国的电动自行车产量连续四年保持增长。去年，电动自行车产量达到396万辆。
As for e-bike production hubs, 74.4 percent were located in the northern and eastern parts of China. North China's Tianjin, and East China's Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces are major areas of e-bike production, which have formed industrial clusters including product research and development, manufacturing, accessory production and logistics.
至于电动自行车生产中心，74.4%位于中国北部和东部地区。华北的天津、华东的浙江和江苏是电动自行车生产的主要地区，形成了包括产品研发、制造、配件生产和物流在内的产业集群。
The report noted that although the e-bike sector has been seeing rapid development over the past few years, it lacks high standards. The market entry threshold is low. The rapid increase in the number of e-bike producers also resulted in uneven product quality levels.
报告指出，尽管电动自行车行业在过去几年中发展迅速，但缺乏高标准。市场准入门槛低。电动自行车生产商数量的快速增长也导致了产品质量水平的不均衡。
However, consumers' increasingly high requirements and the government's newly released strict standards have raised the bar for e-bike manufacturers. Large firms with an edge in tech are grabbing larger market share and gradually leading the market, the report stated.
然而，消费者越来越高的要求和政府新发布的严格标准提高了电动自行车制造商的标准。报告指出，在科技领域具有优势的大公司正在抢占更大的市场份额，并逐渐引领市场。
