The European Union has recently introduced new regulations(EN 17860) for cargo eBikes, aimed at improving safety and standardization across member states.
Main point
- Vehicle design and construction: The regulations specify requirements for frame strength, braking systems, lighting, and other safety features.
- Electrical systems: Standards for battery capacity, motor power, and electrical safety are outlined.
- Cargo carrying capacity: Limits are set on the maximum weight that can be carried on a cargo eBike.
- Testing and certification: Manufacturers must ensure their cargo eBikes meet the specified requirements and undergo testing to receive the CE mark.
