National safety rules for e-bike and scooter batteries
This bill would set one national safety standard for lithium-ion batteries in micromobility products. The Consumer Product Safety Commission would have to adopt three UL safety standards within 180 days of enactment for batteries and electrical systems in e-bikes and other small electric rideables (UL 2271, UL 2849, UL 2272). The rules would apply to consumer products. When those UL standards are updated, the update would become an enforceable rule 180 days after the Commission is told, unless the Commission rejects it within 90 days. Makers, importers, distributors, and sellers would need to meet these rules, and households would get stronger safety protections.
