There are three places to distinguish the authenticity of Phoenix bicycle:

1. Trademark. The trademark of the genuine product has a 1mm thick Phoenix trademark hard card on the front tube of the frame, which is rich in enamel luster and has a strong three-dimensional effect. The trademark hard card of counterfeit car is light and thin, with uneven color and no three-dimensional effect.

2. the "phoenix" sign. On the handlebar, frame, bell, chain cover, crank, etc., there are 18 hard-printed marks of small phoenix patterns or characters, and the center of the handlebar is stamped with "China Shanghai" and the Phoenix seal. Although there are a few imitation marks on counterfeit cars, they are generally hand-made, with unclear patterns and words and skewed positions.

3. smoothness. "Phoenix" car has good body finish, high rim finish, uniform coating and good rust prevention performance. The fake car has rough surface, poor rim smoothness and poor antirust performance.

Extended information:

Because of its excellent technology and long history, Phoenix bicycle is an old brand in China, so many manufacturers have been infringing on it, and for this reason, Phoenix bicycle has also suffered huge losses.

The predecessor of Phoenix Bicycle can be traced back to the 23rd year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, that is, Tongchang Bicycle Shop, which was founded in 1897.

Shanghai No.3 Bicycle Factory was established in May 1958, and in June, advertisements for brand names and trademarks were placed in Jiefang Daily and Wenhui Daily. One of the "Phoenix" designers named Zhou Bairen expressed the meaning of "Phoenix" with gestures and words: "Phoenix is good, flying briskly, and it is an auspicious thing among the people, which is liked by the people". The design has been approved by more than 9% employees.

On January 1st, 1959, the trademark "Phoenix" was officially approved, and "Phoenix" was born.
