Are you aware that NYC has implemented regulations for electric bicycles? Are you also aware that this law has the potential to be made on a federal level?
New York City has banned non-UL certified electric bicycles. Yep, you heard that right! But fear not, because safety is the name of the game.
Now, ebikes being sold must be certified to UL 2849 and 2271 standards on their motor systems and batteries. It’s all about ensuring top-notch quality and safety for riders and pedestrians alike.
What does this mean for you? If you’re in the market for an electric bike, make sure to check for those UL certifications. It’s a surefire way to guarantee that your ride meets the city’s standards and keeps you cruising with peace of mind.
At Propel, we’ve been following these standards for years now as safety is and always has been at the forefront of what we stand for. If you’re interested in checking out some of our UL certified bikes, feel free to reach out or visit us at PropelBikes.com!
