As everyone knows that the electric bicycles have quickly become popular all over the world for its lightness, economy and environmental protection. In the international market, Sales of electric bicycles are increasing day by day, and the prospects of industry are optimistic. However, the standards and regulations of various countries and regions are not the same, which has a certain impact on the export of enterprises. Due to this reason, we sorted out the regulations and standards of city electric bicycles in some countries and regions, and introduce for everyone in order to help the development of the export trade of the company.

 

1. EU Electric Power Bicycle Machinery Directive Certification

 

The Machinery Directive was implemented in 2009. The directive applies to institutions, mobile machinery, mechanical devices, machines used to lift and transport people, and safety accessories.

As long as they are sold on the EU market, it means that the product has met the basic requirements of the EU's "New Methods for Technical Coordination and Standardization" Claim.

 

The electric-assisted bicycle standard EN 15194:2017 became a harmonized standard under the Machinery Directive on March, 2019. This has become a mandatory requirement. Urban electric bicycles sold to the European market must meet the requirements of EN 15194:2017. And the bicycle must also have the CE mark.
