According to multiple witnesses at the scene, the incident occurred around 1pm on June 23rd. "The rain was particularly heavy, and there were relatively few cars on the road at that time." A delivery man fell while riding an electric bike and was stabbed in the neck by the rain canopy installed on the bike. "There was a lot of blood flowing at the scene," and nearby residents were also hesitant to rescue him at will. A witness stated that the delivery person is suspected to have been stabbed by a canopy pole.
After the incident, the police and 120 emergency personnel quickly rushed to the scene for disposal. A witness said that after questioning the police at the scene, she was told "probably no one is around" and estimated that the delivery man was around 30 years old, which was "very regrettable".
Some nearby merchants have expressed that they often see delivery drivers with this type of canopy installed on their cars on the road, which feels very dangerous.

It is worth noting that
Due to the modification of the electric bicycle canopy
And there are many traffic accidents caused by it

In July 2016, a car accident occurred on Anshun Road in Anpu Town, Lianjiang City, Guangdong Province.
A woman was riding a motorcycle on the road. Due to the fast speed and strong wind, she suddenly fell to the ground with both a person and a car. The sunshade installed on the car was broken at the waist, and the broken handle was inserted into her throat, causing a lot of bleeding. The woman died due to her severe injury and ineffective rescue efforts.

In April 2016, a traffic accident occurred in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province. The car collided with a motorcycle from the opposite direction. Unexpectedly, due to the motorcycle driver installing a "sunshade" without authorization in the accident, he was scratched in the abdomen by the "sunshade" device during the accident, and the scene was extremely tragic.

In September 2015, a traffic accident occurred at Lingtou, Shanwai Village, Furong Town, Wenzhou. A middle-aged woman is riding an electric bike on a winding mountain road.
Suddenly, the sunshade installed on the electric vehicle became loose, and the tilted umbrella blocked the woman's line of sight. The woman collided with a person and a car on a concrete pier on the roadside, unconscious on the spot, and the front of the car was also damaged. Subsequently, the woman was sent to the hospital for rescue, and the doctor said her head was severely injured with no signs of life.
It can be seen from this that

Installing a hood on an electric bicycle may seem convenient
But this kind of car canopy is in motion
There are also certain safety hazards
So, what are the hazards of modifying the car roof
Expansion of vehicle body area
Increased the incidence of collision accidents

The installation of car canopies on electric vehicles leads to an expansion of the vehicle body area, increasing the incidence of collision accidents, affecting the maneuverability of electric vehicles during turns, and hindering drivers from quickly avoiding danger.
Obstructing vision
Difficult to perceive road conditions ahead
The car canopy and supporting steel pipes will block some of the driver's line of sight, especially when turning, expanding the driver's blind spot. On the other hand, it also obstructs the line of sight of rear personnel, which can easily lead to accidents.
Increase vehicle wind resistance
Easy to cause directional loss of control

Installing a car hood increases the wind resistance of electric vehicles, especially during strong winds, where drivers often experience accidents due to difficulty in controlling driving balance. During driving, the rain canopy is easily affected by lateral wind, which can easily cause directional loss.
Increase casualty rate
It may also cause secondary accidents
Most car canopies are made of metal frames, and in the event of a collision or tilting, the added canopies may scratch the driver or others, even endangering life safety.
Many netizens have come forward to say that
The hood is really dangerous!

Shave your face! Touch your shoulders! Punk your eyes!
Although the car canopy can provide shelter from wind and rain
But compared to safety
It's clear at a glance which one is lighter or heavier
So, here's the problem
Riding electric bicycles on rainy days

How to properly prevent rain?
Let's take a look together~

The correct way to prevent rain
When driving an electric bike on rainy days, you can choose to wear a fitted split style raincoat or a short raincoat.
Although these two types of raincoats have a smaller coverage area and can only cover the wearer themselves, they have better safety and flexibility.

Additionally, it should be noted that if wearing a short raincoat, when getting on the car, the raincoat should be fixed on the cushion to prevent it from flying up in the wind and interfering with cycling.
Here's a reminder
The majority of electric bicycle owners
Don't add a hood to your "little electric donkey" anymore!
Wear sun protection clothing and a helmet if you are afraid of exposure to the sun
If you're afraid of rain, put on a raincoat!

If installed, please voluntarily remove the car canopy
Restore to its original state!
