The Safe Standards for Personal E-bike and E-moto Device Specifications Act directs the Consumer Product Safety Commission to create uniform safety standards and labeling requirements for electric bicycles and off-road electric devices within one year of enactment. The standard will include clear classifications for different types of e-bikes, minimum age recommendations for each classification, and mandatory labels on all devices showing their classification, motor power, maximum speed, and age restrictions. The bill prohibits sale of mislabeled e-bikes or those designed to be modified to exceed speed limits. The legislation requires the Commission to analyze crash and injury data from the past five years and conduct ongoing studies every two years, with findings reported to Congress and published publicly. The bill authorizes $2.5 million annually from 2027 through 2031 in grants to help law enforcement, emergency services, and other agencies train personnel, develop safety guidance, and improve data collection on e-bike and e-device-related incidents.
