The list of the goods to be marked and traced, in addition to two-wheeled bicycles, includes tricycles, frames and motorised bicycles.

«Marking is useful, first of all, to protect the market from being flooded by the counterfeit products coming from China. To protect the ultimate buyer from buying junk, assembled from unknown spare parts at a cost seven to eight times less than it actually is, instead of certain brand bicycle. Coming back to the bicycle market: it is quite large and receptive in Russia, it is about 4 million units. And even in spite of the crisis we have, the bicycle market has practically not shrunk in terms of state and in terms of individual households. It maintained its volume. Surprisingly, it is mostly controlled by Chinese manufacturers. In our opinion, marking will help domestic manufacturers to get on their feet, expand the production of components in the Russian Federation and move from partial production, as with Velomotors, for example, to assembly production, more complete production so that the bicycle could actually be Russian.»
