A 1875 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires testing of electrical systems of certain electric bicycles, powered mobility devices, and batteries prior to sale, rental, lease, or other distribution to consumers.

This bill requires that low-speed electric bicycles, powered mobility devices (like scooters), and their batteries be tested for safety by an accredited lab before being sold, rented, leased, or distributed to consumers. The testing must meet specific safety standards (such as Underwriters Laboratories standards), and the results must be displayed via a lab logo on the product or its packaging at the time of sale. Sellers who fail to comply face a written warning for a first violation and up to $1,000 in penalties for each subsequent violation within two years. The rule does not apply to second-hand sales without packaging or documentation.
