Recently, Ms. Li from Henan Province reported that her father had bought a so-called "low-speed electric vehicle" online. The seller had marketed it as a "Porsche Mini Cayenne" for the price of 22,800 yuan, insisting that the purchase must be accompanied by an old vehicle. However, upon receipt, the vehicle not only lacked a qualification certificate but also required the buyer to affix the logo himself. Moreover, its overall quality fell significantly short of the seller's lofty claims. It's worth noting that "low-speed electric vehicles" are specifically designed for the elderly, serving as low-speed, four-wheeled mobility aids primarily for short-distance travel. At present, most "low-speed electric vehicles" available on the market are not listed in the "Catalog of Road Motor Vehicle Production Enterprises and Products" and thus cannot be registered or legally driven on public roads, posing considerable safety hazards. Their production is not required to adhere to relevant national standards; instead, they only need to meet the enterprise standards set by the manufacturers, leading to inconsistent quality levels. Therefore, consumers should exercise caution when purchasing such vehicles and avoid buying those without qualification certificates, 3C certification, or the ability to be registered, in order to safeguard their own rights and safety.
