Under the aegis of CONEBI, 15 national bicycle industry associations and 68 companies became signatories to an industry-wide self-commitment to prevent the tampering of e-bikes<\/em><\/p>\n

With e-bikes becoming an increasingly familiar sight on roads all over Europe, the tampering of such bicycles has become a growing issue. The bicycle industry has taken a strong stance against this practice, with the Confederation of the European Bicycle Industry (CONEBI)<\/strong> leading a self-commitment initiative<\/a> to prevent illegal tampering, as riding manipulated e-bikes can pose great dangers to users as well as serious legal consequences.<\/p>\n

According to CONEBI<\/strong><\/a>, riding a tampered e-bike on public roads can lead to criminal prosecution, as it becomes a motor vehicle, meaning additional rules apply for the user (eg compulsory helmet, no access to cycle lanes, mandatory driving license and insurance, etc). Riding a tampered e-bike also risks invalidating third-party or personal injury insurance. Furthermore, cyclists risk losing their guarantee and invalidating their warranty claims.<\/p>\n

To further support the bicycle industry\u2019s position and help spread the message to cyclists that the tampering of e-bikes is dangerous, CONEBI<\/strong> has published a joint declaration<\/a> committing to the prevention of e-bike tampering. All of the signatories, ranging from national industry associations to global companies active in the industry, commit to speaking out against tampering in publications and at events, as well as raising awareness about the illegal practice to related stakeholders, such as retailers, via training, documentation, workshops, and campaigns.<\/p>\n

While the large majority of e-bike riders do not tamper with their bicycles, CONEBI<\/strong> has expressed concern about the negative impact that the illegal actions of a few will have on those who conduct themselves according to the law. The confederation strongly believes that the current regulatory framework for e-bikes is well suited, and the equal treatment of e-bikes and bicycles is fundamental to provide an attractive product to the users. CONEBI<\/strong> does, however, see tampering as a threat to this stable framework. Therefore, there is a strong motivation within the bicycle industry to persuade users to refrain from tampering.<\/p>\n

\u201cTampering can sometimes be possible, and ECF is very much supportive of any initiative that seeks to minimise or exclude completely the possibility of increasing the speed or power for which an e-bike was built for,\u201d said Ceri Woolsgrove of the European Cyclists\u2019 Federation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe see the current regulatory field for Electronic Power Assisted Cycles (EPACs) to be in a good place and we would like to keep it that way. We call on all riders to not tamper with their bikes. They have been designed and built with a particular speed and power in mind and any changes could have dire consequences for their safety. We also call on the industry to work towards future bikes to be as safe and as tamperproof as possible, and this commitment is an excellent step towards achieving that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Working together with its members, technical experts and other associations, CONEBI<\/strong> is preparing supplementary information that will help to follow the steps of the self-commitment, including, but not limited to, information material on the risks and dangers of tampering as well as building partnerships with likeminded associations such as consumer organisations.<\/p>\n
