Requires testing of electrical systems of certain electric bicycles, powered mobility devices, and batteries prior to sale, rental, lease, or other distribution to consumers.
This bill (A3875) requires that low-speed electric bicycles, powered mobility devices, and their batteries undergo safety testing by an accredited lab before being sold, rented, leased, or distributed to consumers in New Jersey. The testing must verify compliance with established safety standards (like UL 2849 for e-bikes or UL 2272 for mobility devices), and proof of testing must be visibly displayed on the product or its packaging. Retailers and distributors who fail to comply face a $1,000 penalty per violation after an initial warning. The requirement does not apply to second-hand sales without original packaging or documentation.
