UL 2849 Certification Explained
UL 2849 Certification has become one of the most talked-about e-bike standards in 2025. It appears in online ads, spec sheets, and retailer descriptions, often positioned as the “highest level” of e-bike safety. That perception is not wrong, but it is also not the full story. UL 2849 confirms outstanding electrical and fire safety, but it does not verify whether an e-bike meets Australian power and speed limits, and it does not determine whether a bike is legal to ride on Australian roads.
