What can LEVA-EU do for you?

LEVA-EU helps you to understand the LEV-market in Europe.

Are you lost in the maze of European rules and regulations on light electric vehicles?

Are you looking for answers to questions such as:
– what is type-approval, what does it cost and how does it compare to CE-marking?
– should electric mountain bikes be type-approved?
– can you produce electric cargo bikes with more than 250W?
– must speed pedelec riders wear a moped helmet?
– do they have to have insurance and a number plate?
LEVA-EU has the knowledge to answer all above legal questions and many more on technical regulations, national rules on insurance, driving licences, helmet obligations, traffic codes but also on consumer guarantees, product liability, etc.
LEVA-EU can save you as a member a lot of time, thus money, to bring your products to the market or to ensure that your products are in line with legal requirements.
