<p>Existing product safety laws already apply to e-bikes, their batteries and chargers and we keep the legislation under review, including through the recent consultation on the Product Safety Review.</p><p>Under current law manufacturers and importers must ensure their products are safe before they are sold. The Office for Product Safety and Standards in this Department, as well as Local Authority Trading Standards, have the powers to enforce these requirements and are prioritising action to identify and test e-bikes, modification kits and chargers so that products found to be unsafe can be removed from the market.</p> |
