Controversy on Type-Approval Regulations for e-Bikes Among Industry and Dealer Associations

The controversy on the future regulations for electric bicycles between industry associations COLIBI/COLIPED and the one for cyclists ECF on the one hand and trade association ETRA on the other hand is growing. COLIBI/COLIPED and ECF plea for not changing the existing legislation; ETRA has proposed changes aimed at improving the type-approval for electric bikes and light electric vehicles. It leaves the members of the European Parliament (MEPs) confused.
