The findings have won her many prizes in youth innovation (创新) competitions in Shanghai and elsewhere in China.

There are over 100 electric bicycles makers in China. Now China is one of the largest makers of electric bicycles in the world, and many people ride them to work, to send children to schools, to go to the supermarkets and so on.

There are many accidents caused by electric bicycles because of their fast speed. People must be careful when riding electric bicycles. At the same time, people should wear helmets (头盔) when riding electric bicycles. Check the batteries as often as possible. Keeping safe is the most important thing.
