As the city of Shenzhen cracks down on violators of traffic regulations, it’s become increasingly difficult for e-bike riders to avoid penalties and or confiscation of their e-bikes. In the wake of the confiscations; which began in November of 2016, a group of 182 researchers have volunteered their time to gather information to help protect the endangered e-bike riders of the Shekou Sub-District of Shenzhen.
