Its proposal would make battery and electrical safety tests, which are now voluntary, a legal condition for selling these products in the United States<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\" id=\"hsn-cite-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, the rule is not yet in force, and no shipment is stopped because of it today. But it is moving forward, and if the CPSC adopts it, e-bikes, e-scooters and their batteries and chargers would have to pass modified UL safety tests and carry new warning labels before they could be sold.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the CPSC hearing on Oct. 21?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CPSC published a notice in the Federal Register on Oct. 5, 2026, offering people a chance to give spoken comments on the proposal<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The hearing is a virtual meeting that starts at <strong>10 a.m. Eastern time on Oct. 21, 2026<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone who wants to speak must send a request, with the written text of the talk, to the CPSC&#8217;s Office of the Secretary<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The request must arrive <strong>by 5 p.m. Eastern time on Oct. 15, 2026<\/strong>, and speakers must also register online by the same time<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Attendance is free<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each talk is limited to <strong>5 minutes<\/strong>, not counting questions from the commissioners or CPSC staff<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Talks must stay within the subject of the proposal. Groups with very similar comments are asked to pick one spokesperson<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CPSC says it received requests to speak, and the law requires it to offer this chance<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The Consumer Product Safety Act, the law behind the rule, says interested parties must be able to present &quot;data, views, or arguments&quot; orally, and the CPSC must keep a transcript<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The commissioners voted 3-0 to publish the hearing notice<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What did the CPSC propose in June?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposal is a notice of proposed rulemaking, which is a draft rule published for public comment before a final decision<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. It appeared in the Federal Register on June 24, 2026, under docket number CPSC-2025-0012<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. It would create a new part of U.S. federal rules, <strong>16 CFR part 1265<\/strong>, and change part 1112<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposal covers lithium-ion batteries used in micromobility products, meaning small electric vehicles for one rider<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. It also covers the whole electrical system of those products<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. That includes the battery, the battery management system (the electronics that control charging and discharging), the charger, and any other electrical part named in the relevant standard<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rule would also reach batteries sold on their own. The CPSC calls these <strong>user replaceable battery packs<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. Parts sold in kits that turn an ordinary bicycle into an e-bike, called conversion kits, are covered too<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which products would the battery rule cover?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposal names six types of micromobility products<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\" id=\"hsn-cite-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>eBikes<\/strong>, bicycles with working pedals and one or more electric motors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>eScooters<\/strong>, stand-up or sit-down scooters without working pedals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Self-balancing scooters<\/strong>, such as hoverboards, with two foot pads side by side.<\/li>\n<li><strong>eSkateboards<\/strong>, skateboards with a battery-powered motor under the deck.<\/li>\n<li><strong>eUnicycles<\/strong>, one-wheeled electric riders.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hybrids<\/strong> of these products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposed rule text is split by product group<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. It has separate sections for eBikes, for personal eMobility products such as scooters and hoverboards, for user replaceable battery packs, for eBike conversion kits, and for aftermarket battery chargers sold separately<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some products are outside the CPSC&#8217;s reach. The law excludes motor vehicles, meaning vehicles built mainly for use on public roads, which belong to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the road safety agency<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. Such vehicles usually have a vehicle identification number and features like headlights, brake lights and mirrors<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. The UL 2272 standard used for scooters also excludes motorized wheelchairs and mobility scooters for medical use<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rental fleets are not excluded. The CPSC says its authority includes commercially owned products that consumers use, for example in rental fleets<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which UL standards would e-bike and scooter batteries have to meet?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The UL standards are product safety tests that, today, firms follow by choice. The proposal would make each product meet the tests in the matching UL standard, with changes<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>UL 2849-20<\/strong> for the electrical systems of eBikes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>UL 2272-24<\/strong> for electrical systems of eScooters, self-balancing scooters, eSkateboards, eUnicycles and hybrids.<\/li>\n<li><strong>UL 2271-23<\/strong> for batteries used in light electric vehicles, which covers user replaceable battery packs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"hsn-fig hsn-fig--solid hsn-fig--v4\" data-at=\"which-ul-standards-would-e-bike-and-scooter-batteries-have-to-meet\">\n  <div class=\"hsn-fig__table\">\n    <h4>Proposed standards by product<\/h4>\n    <div class=\"pcrstb-wrap\"><table>\n      <thead>\n        <tr><th>Product<\/th><th>Standard and added tests<\/th><\/tr>\n      <\/thead>\n      <tbody>\n        <tr><th>eBikes<\/th><td>UL 2849-20, plus enclosure, post-discharge and reverse polarity tests<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>Scooters, hoverboards, eSkateboards, eUnicycles<\/th><td>UL 2272-24, plus reverse polarity test<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>Spare battery packs<\/th><td>UL 2271-23, plus enclosure, post-discharge and reverse polarity tests<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>Labels<\/th><td>New warnings on shock, thermal runaway, charging<\/td><\/tr>\n      <\/tbody>\n    <\/table><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CPSC found that these standards, as written, do not deal with every hazard it identified<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. So it proposes three added tests<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>A <strong>tamper-resistant battery enclosure<\/strong> for eBikes and spare battery packs, taken from the scooter standard, so that users cannot easily open the battery.<\/li>\n<li>A <strong>post-discharge charge test<\/strong> for eBikes and spare packs, which checks that the electronics block charging if the cells are too hot.<\/li>\n<li>A <strong>reverse polarity test<\/strong> in all three standards, which protects the battery if someone uses the wrong charger.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposal would also rewrite the warning labels in all three standards<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. The new messages would cover electric shock, thermal runaway, homemade batteries and unsafe charging<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does the CPSC want mandatory battery rules?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CPSC points to fires. From 2019 through 2023, it knows of <strong>227 incidents<\/strong> involving fires, explosions, gas releases, burns, overheating and smoke inhalation that the rule could have prevented<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. Of these, 90 incidents are linked to <strong>39 deaths and 181 injuries<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. In 39 of the 227 incidents, more than one person was killed or hurt<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"hsn-fig hsn-fig--solid hsn-fig--v4\" data-at=\"why-does-the-cpsc-want-mandatory-battery-rules\">\n    <div class=\"hsn-fig__cols\">\n    <h4>Battery incidents known to the CPSC, 2019 to 2023<\/h4>\n    <div class=\"hsn-fig__col\" data-series=\"1\">\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__num\">227<\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__coltrack\"><span class=\"hsn-fig__colfill\" data-v=\"100\"><\/span><\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__lab\">All incidents<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"hsn-fig__col\" data-series=\"2\">\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__num\">90<\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__coltrack\"><span class=\"hsn-fig__colfill\" data-v=\"40\"><\/span><\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__lab\">With deaths or injuries<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"hsn-fig__col\" data-series=\"3\">\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__num\">39<\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__coltrack\"><span class=\"hsn-fig__colfill\" data-v=\"15\"><\/span><\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__lab\">With several victims<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main danger is thermal runaway. This is a chemical reaction inside a battery cell that feeds itself and quickly creates heat, which ignites the flammable liquid inside<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. Hot gases can then push burning material out of the cell, causing an explosion or fire that can spread to the cells next to it<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CPSC also sees a risk of electric shock at voltages of 42.4 volts peak alternating current or 60 volts direct current and above<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. Most batteries in these products are rated below 60 volts today, and CPSC staff have found no shock incidents<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. But the agency expects more powerful packs in the future, and chargers run on 120-volt household power<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are voluntary standards not enough?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. law tells the CPSC to rely on a voluntary standard instead of writing its own rule if that standard would deal with the risk and most products already meet it<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. The CPSC concluded that neither condition is met<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its first finding is that the UL standards do not cover all the hazards<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. Its second is that micromobility products as a whole do <strong>not substantially comply<\/strong> with the voluntary standards, meaning too many products on the market do not meet them<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. For both reasons, the CPSC proposes to turn the modified standards into a mandatory rule<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What would change for importers and sellers of e-bikes?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At present, meeting the UL standards is a choice. Under the proposal, it would become a legal condition for selling these products in the United States<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. That would apply to e-bikes and scooters sold complete, and to spare batteries, conversion kit parts and separate chargers<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Makers abroad would need to design batteries and electrical systems that pass the three added tests. Importers would need products that meet the rule and carry the new labels. Sellers of spare batteries and chargers would face the same tests as sellers of complete products, because the proposal covers these parts on their own<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some micromobility products are made for children. For these, the proposal adds the rule to the list of rules that need <strong>third party testing<\/strong>, meaning tests by an outside testing body rather than the maker<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. That is the reason the proposal also changes part 1112, which sets the rules for those testing bodies<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposed rule text also contains a section titled &quot;Prohibited Stockpiling&quot;<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. The CPSC also asks for public comment on stockpiling<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When could the lithium-ion battery rule start?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No start date is in force yet. The deadline for written comments was <strong>Aug. 24, 2026<\/strong>, and that comment period has closed<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>. The Federal Register page for the proposal shows 62 comments received<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"hsn-fig hsn-fig--solid hsn-fig--v4\" data-at=\"when-could-the-lithium-ion-battery-rule-start\">\n  <div class=\"hsn-fig__axis\">\n    <h4>Steps in the CPSC battery rule<\/h4>\n    <div class=\"hsn-fig__ev\">\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__evdate\">24 Jun 2026<\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__evlab\">Proposal published<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"hsn-fig__ev\">\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__evdate\">24 Aug 2026<\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__evlab\">Written comments closed<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"hsn-fig__ev\">\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__evdate\">15 Oct 2026<\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__evlab\">Deadline to ask to speak<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"hsn-fig__ev\">\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__evdate\">21 Oct 2026<\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__evlab\">Public hearing<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the comment period and the hearing, the CPSC will weigh the comments and decide whether to issue a final rule<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. To adopt it, the commission must find that the rule is reasonably necessary to reduce an unreasonable risk of injury and is in the public interest<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>. It must also find that the benefits bear a reasonable relationship to the costs and that the rule is the least burdensome way to reduce the risk<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A start date would be set in a final rule.
