American Safety Testing Standard for Electric Bicycles UL2849 report

Lithium-ion battery technology is being widely used in personal electric transportation devices such as balance bikes, electric pedal bicycles (e-bikes), electric motorcycles and electric scooters. We must actively address the growing safety of the electrical systems of personal electric transportation devices. Similarly, there is exponential growth in the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones to achieve commercial or tactical objectives, which will continue to rely on safe battery and electrical system technology for proper operation.

Electric bicycles, electric assisted bicycles (EPAC bicycles), electric scooters and electric motorcycles-UL 2849 Third Edition. The updated requirements for the third edition of UL 2849 now address recent key safety issues to support the safe use of e-bikes (e-bikes that are ridden single, but may be able to accommodate passengers; e-bikes that are typically operated seated; e-bikes that can have pedals; e-bikes that are generally considered off-road) and minimize the risk of battery fire or explosion and the risk of electric shock hazard.

Important updates include:

UL 2849 covers electric bicycles (pedal assisted electric bicycles) and electric systems for off-road use of electric motorcycles and electric scooters.

This standard addresses the risk of electric shock and potential electric shock during charging during the life of the product.

Electric bicycles enter the U.S. market, there are relatively strict market access threshold, that is, the requirements through the UL2849 safety standards. The UL2849 standard involves product safety, battery management system (BMS), software evaluation and functional safety evaluation requirements, as well as safety standards for controllers, motors, chargers and other components. UL2849 the introduction and implementation of the standard make the quality and performance of electric bicycle products get higher protection, so that the industry more healthy and long-term development.

At present, many domestic big brand electric vehicle export enterprises have passed UL2849 safety testing or have been in the application. At present, the world sells two electric bicycle SC-1,EB-7 and high-tech era electric bicycles P10,P2 have passed the US UL2272 & UL2849 certification, the first to enter the North American market. Amazon, the e-commerce platform, has also made clear requirements for electric vehicle products. All lithium car products must pass UL relevant certification before they are allowed to go on the shelves.
