A-bike刮起打假风暴 侵权者或将被诉
来自英国的世界最小自行车A-bike在中国掀起了强有力的打假风暴英国A-bike中国区总代理商北京快捷生活商贸有限公司（以下简称“快捷商贸”）称：此次代号为“暴风行动”的全国打假行动将对中国存在的假冒行为进行第一轮“门户清理”。在打假名单中，东风日产销售商、淘宝等均列入其中。其中，北京埃贝斯营销服务有限公司两家被当场证据保全并即将起诉；快捷商贸已经对淘宝网、东风日产发函交涉，并在与阿里巴巴等网站平台继续就维权合作进行沟通。
快捷商贸负责人陈姜表示，A-bike属于世界上最小的自行车，系出著名英国发明家克莱夫•辛克莱爵士之手，因其小巧便携、外观简洁时尚等优点深得欧美消费者喜爱。虽然2009年1月份中国大陆才正式有正规代理商和产品入驻中国市场，但早在2006年始，中国大陆就陆续出现了盗版现象，盗版之风愈演愈烈。以淘宝为例，目前已经有将近8000条侵权商品宣传和销售信息，以家有购物、北京埃贝斯营销服务有限公司、东风日产4S店等所销售或绑定销售的盗版A-bike已经严重侵害了消费者的合法权利和A-bike的品牌形象。快捷商贸称，仿冒车存在严重安全隐患，我们诉诸法律手段把以上侵权销售实体推向前台，就是为了最大程度降低消费者所可能由于仿冒品受到的侵害。
快捷商贸认为，A-bike历来重视品牌的保护，如果在中国这个自行车王国产生的盗版现象视而不见，将对整个国外品牌A-bike在中国的生存发展产生致命损害。该负责人称，从维护世界最小自行车品牌的角度出发，亟需在全国进行一场造假严打，彻底在中国树立正版A-bike自行车品牌形象和各项正确认知。出于对中国消费者负责任的态度和对A-bike品牌的维护，快捷商贸最终做出了三点建议：“一、侵权商家须对A-bike产生的侵权行为负责；二、侵权厂商须通过恰当形式向中国消费者致歉；三、快捷商贸对遭受侵权的消费者，提供购买正版的合法渠道，并优惠提供正版产品。
在中国销售的正版A-bike smart自行车采用了优质材料和先进的加工工艺。比如正版产品中有着大部分的增强尼龙件，在硬度、强度、韧性和等方面都较盗版要高，铝镁合金件部分内外壁光洁度、管材连接处的密合度都较高；盗版A-bike无论整体承重还是外观视觉感觉均逊色于正版产品。仿冒车材料成本、设备成本、加工成本、质量控制成本、标准零部件（脚踏、链条、轴承、飞轮、轮胎、刹车线等）成本都与正版车有着巨大落差，低廉的成本投入导致生产加工链条的粗糙，目前市场上仿冒车的售价从200到600元不等，均存在严重安全隐患。
目前中国消费者可以登陆A-bike中国官网www.a-bike.com.cn或者拨打400-677-8053两种重要途径验证产品真伪，对于参与并维护正版产品的消费者将享受一年的保修服务。

A-bike Crack Down on Counterfeit Ones Infringers Will Be Sued
A-bike , researched and developed by Sinclair Research in UK, is the smallest bike in the world. As its Chinese exclusive agent “Beijing Mind & Life” company (a trade company committed to convenient life ) has carried out an activity named “Storm Action” to crack down on counterfeit ones in China. They claimed that the “Storm Action” was aimed at “portal cleaning” for those faked A-bikes in China for the first round, and the retailers of Dongfeng Nissan and Taobao website are on the cleaning list. Among the units on the list, two companies of Beijing APX are going to be sued with perpetuation of evidence on the spot. What’s more, Beijing Mind & Life company has sent correspondences on this subject to Dongfeng Nissan and Taobao website, and has been in discussions with platforms like Alibaba website about cooperation in right-safeguarding.
Chen Jiang, the spokesman of Mind &Life company said that A-bike, invented by the famous English inventor sir Sinclair, is the smallest bike in the world. It is very popular among the European and American customers because of its portable design, and its simple and modern style. Though A-bike didn’t find its agents to enter China until 2009.1, there had been faked A-bikes since 2006 and the phenomenon is becoming increasingly serious. Take Taobao for example, there has been more than 8000 propagandas and sales information with right encroachment. Among the encroachments, the faked A-bikes sold by Jiayou Home Shopping company, Beijing APX, and Dongfeng Nissan have badly encroached on customers’ legal rights and threw heavy shadow on A-bike’s brand image. According to Beijing Mind & Life company, “There is high security risk in the faked A-bikes. In order to keep our customers from the hurt from the counterfeits, we will punish those retailing entities with the help of law.”
From Beijing Mind & Life’s perspective, A-bike company is always attaching much importance to the protection of its brand name. If we leave the counterfeiting uncontrolled in China---the bicycle kingdom, it will be fatal to A-bike’s development in this country. The spokesman also said that a severe attack on counterfeiting is desiderated to safeguard the world’s smallest bike’s brand image and give customers its right knowledge. For these purposes, Beijing Mind & Life company has worked out three points: first, those infringers have to take their responsibility for their encroachment on A-bike; second, the infringing factories have to apologize to Chinese customers; third, Beijing Mind & Life company will be committed to provide customers legal products with competitive prices.
The legal A-bike smart bicycles in China are produced with high-quality material and advanced technology. For example, the legal products contain a great amount of enhanced nylon spares, which are superior to faked ones in hardness, intensity, and toughness; and magaluma spares’ degree of finish, both interior and exterior, and its adaption is also much better than the faked ones. In addition, the legal products also preponderate the faked ones in overall bearing and visual aspect. Because of the big differences of cost in material, equipments, processing, quality control, and standard components (foot pedals, chain, axletree, flywheel, and brake cables and so on.), the faked A-bikes’ market price is between 200 and 600, but their chains production and processing are finished in a rough and slipshod way, which leads great potential safety hazard to customers.
Now, Chinese customers can distinguish the legal A-bikes from the faked ones through the its Chinese official website http://www.a-bike.com.cn/ or via the hotline 400-677-8053. Those who engage in the protecting the legal products will be able to get our after service for one year.
