EN 15194: EPAC e-bikes for the European market

EN 15194 is the European standard for electrically power-assisted cycles (EPACs). It covers electrical safety and EMC aspects alongside the bicycle mechanical requirements referenced from cycle standards.

Scope reminders

EPAC definitions limit assistance speed and power; faster vehicles are typically type-approved vehicles, not EPACs. Battery and charger evaluations may reference other standards.

Guidance on standards scope only. Testing produces a report; certification or listing is issued separately by a certification body. Legal requirements depend on jurisdiction and product.
