上海出臺共享單車條例草案 12歲以下少年禁止使用

Shared bikes must be scrapped after three years of use and have a GPS positioning function, and children under the age of 12 will be banned from using the bikes, according to draft regulations from Shanghai government.

上海政府出臺的一份條例草案指出，共享單車在使用三年後必須報廢，必須擁有GPS定位功能。此外，12歲以下的兒童禁止使用。

Shanghai government said that an investigation has showed that the bikes produced under current national standards might have potential safety problems after being in high demand and over long distances.

上海政府稱，一份調查顯示，按現有國家標準生產的自行車由於需求量大，長距離使用，往往存在潛在的安全風險。

The investigation also showed that companies put too many bikes on the market as there aren't enough workers for management and maintenance. Problems also include misplacing bikes and the unclear management of cash deposits.

調查還顯示，一些公司將大量的自行車投放到市場上，卻沒有足夠的工人去管理和維護。另外還存在車子亂停放和保證金管理不清等問題。

Guo Jianrong, secretary-general of the Shanghai Bicycle Association, said that misplacing bikes is a big problem in urban management, and Shanghai government is expected to offer parking places for shared bikes.

上海自行車協會祕書長郭建榮表示，單車亂停亂放是城管遇到的一大問題。上海政府將提供更多的空間供單車停放。

The draft regulations require shared bikes to be installed with positioning devices, which would help the companies and users find the bikes, Gou said.

郭建榮稱，這份草案要求共享單車安裝定位功能，這樣便於公司和用戶找到單車。

Bike share users should be from 1.45 meters to 1.95 meters tall and ages 12 to 70. People over 70 must provide their health documentation to apply to use the bikes.

此外，共享單車的使用者年齡應該在12歲到70歲之間，身高在1.45米到1.95米。70歲以上的使用者需要提供健康證明才能使用。
