Bosch Backing More Stringent E-Bike Regulations In The U.S. via insideevs.com
When it comes to electric bicycles, you could certainly say that the U.S. has much laxer restrictions when compared to its European neighbors. Across the pond in Europe, e-bikes are strictly regulated, with speeds capped at 15 miles per hour, and power delivery limited solely to pedal assist. Indeed, you could say that e-bikes are more boring over there—but you can’t deny that they’re probably much safer.
Now, the subject of whether or not they’re more fun isn’t what we’re talking about today. Rather, let’s take a look at the safety side of, with Bosch, in particular, taking a rather interesting stance surrounding e-bike regulations specific to the U.S. market. Now, whether or not you’re into e-bikes, chances are you’re familiar with Bosch. The company is one of the biggest across multiple industries such as power tools, automotive components, electronics, and yes, e-bike drive systems.
In the U.S., however, e-bike brands more or less have free reign over the motors they slap onto their machines. Indeed, some e-bikes in the U.S. churn out thousands of watts of power, and really blur the lines between e-bike and electric motorcycle. As it would turn out, Bosch wants to change this, urging for increased federal oversight of e-bikes and their performance.
