In 2022, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission sent a letter urging more than 2,000 manufacturers and ABEX importers to review safety standards and ensure that their products comply with them.
“This lithium -ion was ready to create mandatory federal standards to protect the battery,” says Laville, but at the moment, the agency is currently stopping for new rules, while the Trump administration is being reviewed. “
Currently, the UL certification for Electric Bicycle is only necessary in New York City and Hobcon, New Jersey. “People have advocated the model legislature developed by the bicycle industry, which accepts both UL standards and EN standards for lithium -ion batteries and e -systems,” says Laville. This model is a law in the New York state and California and will soon be in Illinois.
To find out if the e -bike you are looking at is a third -party certified, find a sticker on the frame or battery that contains information about it.
What is DIN quality?

Heavy loads in cargo bikes – children, grocery, building equipment, and whatever can potentially be placed on two to four wheels. As a result, cargo motorcycle brakes and other ingredients that allow it to be safely stop and leave need additional checks.
In 2020, the German Institute for Standardization (DIN) developed a “DIN” standard to deal with it. The result is DIN 79010, “the first standard to explain the methods of electric and non -electric cargo bike tests and safety requirements,” says Levil, both the single track (two wheels) and a multi -track (three wheels or more) bikes, aimed at normal cargo and/or/or/or passing.
“Although DIN 79010 is being considered compulsory in Europe, the United States has no plans to adopt it as a compulsory standard in the near future,” says Laville. But many cargo motorcycle companies, such as turn, voluntarily comply with quality.
How will the prices have an impact on my purchase?
If you are looking at an Ebcon, we recommend that before the final deal between the United States and China, with other countries like Vietnam, Taiwan and Cambodia, we recommend buying one right now.
“Currently we are all looking forward to seeing the final form of mutual rates,” Matt Moore, general and policy councilors say common and policy lawyers in bikes. “Most electric bicycles are imported from China, and the tariff rate decorated just increases by 55 %.”
Moore warned, forcing a lot of revenue, a significant increase in prices in the supply chain, which will end with the user’s digital pocket book. Permanent more revenue will be permanently high, which will reduce the demand for consumers and consumers.
“Small companies will be able to handle these extra costs, and some can be forced to get out of business,” says Moore. “Since our highly competitive industry is developing electric bicycles, where the demand for the overall unit has been declining for the past few years, there is a lot of costs and the capacity to have a crisis in prices.”
