Our Perspective
UL Standards & Engagement is a safety expert working to bridge the awareness gap between e-mobility devices, such as e-bikes, and lithium-ion batteries, the source that powers them.
Many riders do not understand the dangers lithium-ion batteries pose when they are damaged or malfunctioning which can cause them to slip into thermal runaway, an uncontrollable self-heating state that can lead to fires or explosion.
Standards can reduce the risk of these fires by ensuring e-bikes are designed and constructed according to safety requirements.
