UL Testing on E-Bikes and BatteriesUpdated 3 months ago

Understanding UL 2849 

UL 2849 is a safety standard specifically designed for electric bicycles (e-bikes). It outlines requirements for various aspects, including: 

1. Electrical Safety: Proper wiring, insulation, and protection against short circuits. 

2. Mechanical Safety: Structural integrity, braking systems, and steering mechanisms. 

3. Battery Safety: Charging and discharging procedures, as well as battery pack design. 

4. Performance: Speed limits, motor power, and control systems. 

Not all bikes sold on City Grounds come with a UL certified battery. If you live somewhere that limits the ownership of non-certified batteries, it is your responsibility to know this information before purchase.
