Reclassifies electric bicycles; establishes certain regulations for electric bicycles, motorized bicycles, storage batteries, and charging systems.*
This bill establishes safety requirements for low-speed electric bicycles, motorized bicycles, their storage batteries, and charging systems. It requires manufacturers, retailers, and rental businesses to ensure these products undergo testing by accredited laboratories to meet safety standards like ANSI/CAN/UL 2849 and EN 15194 before being sold or rented. The bill mandates that certified products display the testing laboratory's logo and standard, with sales compliance required by January 1, 2026, and rental compliance by January 1, 2028. The State Fire Marshal must also develop regulations to promote fire and electrical safety for these products.
