Over the past while, on the basis of ONLY my own little experience, I have seen some improvements in the way e-bikes are behaving in Beijing. But my experience is limited to where I ride my own e-scooter (central core of Beijing)

A few years ago, it was utter pandemonium. But the police and Traffic Wardens have been having some success in getting the e-bikes / e-scooters to behave. Now, at a traffic light, perhaps only 2 or 3 will try and cross against the red ... the rest of the pack waits. Previously, nobody would ever wait.

It is a long process requiring education, regulation and enforcement, but it can be done. And it has to start with the children.

One thing I would like to see in Beijing (which has fantastic bike lanes) is a crack down on the vehicles that are blocking the bicycle lanes, forcing all of the bikes to swerve into traffic. But this is unlikely to happen in a city that adds 2,200 new cars to the roads EVERY DAY.
