Time is running out
Since 18 February 2024, the new EU Battery Regulation applies to all batteries in Light Electric Vehicles (LEVs)—from e-bikes and electric cargo bikes to speed pedelecs and beyond. And there’s more, on 23 August, the updated EN 15194 standard will take full effect, bringing stricter new battery safety requirements based on EN 50604.
Are you 100% sure your products comply?
If the answer is anything but a confident yes, your company could be skating on very thin ice.

Why You Should Be Worried
Failing to meet these new rules could lead to :
⚠️ Unsellable inventory
⚠️ Market bans or fines
⚠️ Supply chain disruption
⚠️ Loss of market access in the EU
Too many companies—big and small—are underestimating these changes. This is not just another CE mark—it’s a major overhaul involving design, testing, documentation, labelling, traceability, and sustainability. And EN 50604’s battery safety testing is anything but straightforward.

What You’ll Learn at the LEVA-EU Info-Meeting
Part 1: The Battery Regulation & EN 50604
- Clear explanation of your legal and technical obligations
- Practical guidance on how to comply and prepare
- Insights into timelines, obligations for manufacturers, importers, assemblers
- Avoiding the traps of poor legal interpretation or misinformation
Part 2: Industry-Wide Implications of ZIV’s Lobbying Efforts
LEVA-EU will share important updates on proposals from the German Bicycle Industry Association (ZIV), which is pushing to narrow the definition of Electrically Power Assisted Cycles (EPACs). This change could force innovative LEVs—such as electric cargo bikes and vehicles adapted for people with disabilities—into the more complex type-approval process. Such a shift risks limiting market access and slowing innovation. This part of the Info-Meeting highlights why a strong, united industry voice is essential to protect fair and inclusive rules.
This is about more than compliance—this is about survival.
LEVA-EU will present a clear and urgent call for unity among LEV stakeholders to protect innovation, diversity, and fair market access.
