CFA Submits Comments to CPSC Regarding Mechanical Hazards of E-Bikes

CFA and other consumer groups submitted comments to the CPSC regarding mechanical hazards of e-bikes. Given the dramatic increase in use and popularity of e-bikes, as well as the increase in non-fatal incidents and deaths, the groups urged the CPSC to expand the definition of e-bikes, address the risks to children, carefully consider existing data, enhance data collection efforts, incorporate the strongest safety standards while addressing safety gaps, and address the potential risk of modified e-bikes.
