Requires new safety standards for batteries in eBikes and electric scooters
This bill would make certain safety standards mandatory for lithium-ion batteries in eBikes and other small electric devices. This means manufacturers would have to meet these rules, aiming to make these products safer for people who use them. The Consumer Product Safety Commission would be in charge of putting these new rules into effect.
Today, safety standards for lithium-ion batteries in eBikes and similar devices are voluntary. If this bill becomes law, the Consumer Product Safety Commission would make these standards mandatory federal rules within 180 days, meaning manufacturers must follow them. This would also create a process for automatically updating these federal rules as the voluntary standards are revised.
