How to Manage E-bikes in Residential Communities? Use QR Codes
Original article: https://cli.im/article/detail/1914
In e-bike management, property management companies often face dilemmas: fire safety authorities require enhanced supervision, while some residents persistently park vehicles in stairwells and lobbies, even illegally using emergency lighting circuits for charging. Without enforcement authority, property staff can only resort to moving vehicles themselves, risking accusations of property rights violations.
Identifying Core Issues
Why do residents park e-bikes indoors? Beyond safety awareness gaps, practical factors dominate:
- Underground bicycle garages with inconvenient access
- Theft concerns
- Insufficient charging points
- High charging costs
Implementing Targeted Solutions
Facility Upgrades
- Improve underground charging facilities with enhanced surveillance
- Create covered parking areas in open spaces
- Offer temporary charging fee waivers (e.g., 1-month free trial)
Daily Management

Legal Communication
Share key regulations with residents:- Fire Safety Guidelines: Prohibit parking/charging in evacuation routes, stairwells, or elevator lobbies
- State Council Regulations: Property companies must maintain fire escape routes and report violations
- Fire Protection Law: Fines up to ¥50,000 for blocking evacuation routes
- MPS Notice: Ban indoor parking/charging in shared spaces
- High-rise Building Regulations: ¥500-1,000 fines for improper parking
Operational Recommendations
- Combine facility improvements with resident education
- Maintain professional conduct during enforcement
- Use QR code systems to document management efforts
- Establish clear escalation procedures for persistent violations
This approach balances practical solutions with legal compliance, enabling effective e-bike management while protecting property management responsibilities.
