June 25, 2022 - Recent news in both trade and consumer publications around e-bikes risk and safety have prompted attention on the classification of bicycles and lithium-ion batteries.
In response to the amount of data, the NBDA has teamed up with experts to offer a 4-part SuperWebinar series boiling down the information to outline retailer best practices regarding e-bikes.
Part 4: E-Bikes – Retailer Risk and Concern
Product innovation continues to outpace current regulations for electric bicycles. As product developers create new e-bike concepts, retailers and companies alike need to be aware of the legal standards that govern electric bicycles in the United States.
The NBDA is pleased to welcome Erika Jones, Partner at Mayer Brown to lead this discussion. Erika’s presentation at the BLC early 2022 left us fueled to bring this important information to retailers. There are many concerns facing our industry. If you sell e bikes currently or plan to in the future, this is a must attend.
