AMERSFOORT, the Netherlands - The new European Union guidelines on battery repairs will soon take effect, but whether the bicycle industry is sufficiently prepared remains to be seen. NOWOS founder Prins Doornekamp said he is surprised by the limited knowledge among both manufacturers and bicycle retailers.

As the EU introduces tougher battery regulations, Bafang sets the bar for e-bike battery safety and sustainability with advanced-level testing, automotive-grade BMS, and eco-focused design. The company strives to deliver durability, performance, and trust for a safer, greener, and more reliable e-mobility future.

FRANKFURT, Germany - Taiwanese IT company, OKGO has developed a cloud-based, full-service platform to support the development of a smarter e-bike industry. Additionally, the company recognises that digital solutions are evolving from 'nice to have' to 'need to have' as more regulations come into play. On display at Eurobike, the company debuted its fully compliant Battery Passport solution developed in collaboration with Chinese battery manufacturer Greenway.

For many consumers, the e-bike isn't just a trend; it's a revolution in how they move. E-bikes are transforming people's lives, whether they're helping people to conquer city commutes, enjoy weekend adventures, or simply breeze through daily errands. But the landscape for e-bike batteries is about to change significantly, thanks to the new Battery Regulation 2023/1542 of the European Union.

BRUSSELS, Belgium - The fierce discussion 2 years ago on the new battery regulation implemented by the European Commission seem to have moved to the background. The challenging market conditions appear to be more relevant than a new European regulation which will be implemented in January 2027. One element in this regulation is that the single cell replacement for e-bike batteries would cause serious safety issues according to many industry insiders.

BRUSSELS, Belgium - When the new battery regulation came into place in August 2023, a lot of attention from the bicycle industry was given to 'Article 11' on repairability. The European Commission has now published guidelines to facilitate the introduction of this part of the regulation, and specifically the much-discussed topic of single-cell replacement.
