To require the Consumer Product Safety Commission to promulgate a consumer product safety standard for the uniform classification and labeling of certain electric bicycles and other off-road electric devices, and for other purposes.

# HR 7839: Electric Bicycle Safety Standards Bill **What It Would Do** This bill would require the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)—the federal agency responsible for product safety—to create standardized rules for classifying and labeling electric bicycles and similar off-road electric devices. Currently, different states and manufacturers use different standards, which can confuse consumers about safety features and performance. The bill aims to establish uniform national standards so that all e-bikes and related devices are labeled consistently and meet minimum safety requirements. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects manufacturers and sellers of e-bikes and off-road electric devices, as they would need to comply with the new federal standards. Consumers would also be impacted, as clearer labeling and safety standards could make these products safer and easier to compare when shopping.

States that currently have their own e-bike regulations might see changes to align with federal standards. **Current Status** HR 7839 was introduced by Representative Dave Min (D-CA) in the 119th Congress. As of now, the bill remains in committee and has not been voted on by the full House of Representatives. This is a relatively early stage in the legislative process.
