$NIU Chinese major e-bike maker Yadea apologized for flaws in some of its newly launched national-standard models and said it will make improvements after widespread consumer complaints, according to a company statement on Friday.Yadea said the issues surrounding its "Maodou" model, such as its inability to carry children and limited storage space, were due to misunderstandings about China's updated e-bike rules.The new rules require Beidou positioning chips, anti-tampering technology to enforce the 25 kilometers per hour speed cap, and stricter limits on plastic components.The Wuxi-based company acknowledged that poor coordination between product versions and insufficient design consideration had caused inconvenience for users and issued an apology.
