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 requires that low-speed electric bicycles, powered mobility devices (like electric scooters), and their batteries undergo safety testing by an accredited lab before being sold, rented, leased, or distributed to consumers. Proof of testing must be displayed on the product’s packaging, documentation, or directly on the device itself. Sellers violating these requirements face a written warning for a first offense and fines up to $1,000 for subsequent violations within two years. The rule does not apply to second-hand sales without packaging or documentation.
