Alongside traditional e-bikes, electric mountain bikes (so-called e-MTBs) are also becoming increasingly popular.<\/p>\n\n<p>In the light of the wide spread and production of these electric bikes, it is crucial to pay attention to the <strong>safety requirements<\/strong> they must meet before they are placed on the market. These requirements are set by the applicable directives (e.g. Machinery Directive 2006\/42\/EC and Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014\/30\/EU) and product-specific standards.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#085f9b\"><strong>THE EN 17404:2022 STANDARD FOR MOUNTAIN BIKES<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>The standard regulating the <strong>compliance of electrically power assisted mountain bikes<\/strong> is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/store.uni.com\/en-17404-2022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EN 17404:2022<\/a><\/strong>, in force since May 2022. The standard almost fully incorporates the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/store.uni.com\/en-15194-2017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EN 15194<\/a><\/strong> <strong>standard<\/strong> for electric pedal-assisted bicycles (EPAC), which sets out safety requirements and test methods, as well as guidelines for instructions on the use and maintenance of the vehicles.<\/p>\n\n<p>However, standard EN 17404:2022 establishes <strong>specific requirements applicable<\/strong> only to EPAC mountain bikes, which are more susceptible to stress than conventional e-bikes. For the purpose of conformity verification under <strong>EN 17404:2022<\/strong> therefore, it is necessary to supplement EN 15194 with a different set of <strong>tests<\/strong> with more <strong>stringent criteria<\/strong>, particularly regarding the mechanical\/structural part.<\/p>\n\n<p>In addition, it should be considered also the verification of the compliance of the <strong>lithium batteries<\/strong> that power the vehicles, given the inherent risks associated with this type of technology.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#085f9b\"><strong>ECM&#8217;S SERVICES FOR EPAC BICYCLES<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Ente Certificazione Macchine<\/strong> is expert in <strong>testing and conformity verification<\/strong> activities on electrically power assisted bicycles (EPAC) according to the European standard EN 15194 and on electrically power assisted mountain bikes according to the standard EN 17404.<\/p>\n\n<p>ECM can also boast consolidated experience and competence in carrying out the tests and activities required to verify the safety and proper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entecerma.it\/en\/activities\/services-for-companies\/testing-and-verification-of-lithium-batteries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">application of lithium batteries<\/a> on the devices on which they are intended to operate.<\/p>\n\n<p>In light of this solid background, ECM is the <strong>ideal partner<\/strong> for Italian and international companies to ensure that the vehicles being placed on the European market are safe and compliant.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Contact us<\/strong> for more information at:<\/p>\n\n<p>Paolo Bernardoni \u2013 Account Manager ECM<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"mailto:paolo@entecerma.it\">paolo@entecerma.it<\/a> | tel.
