BOULDER, COLO. (September 6, 2023) — Federal priorities for electric bicycle regulations are at the forefront of current discussions at the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). These pending regulations will impact every aspect of the bike business.
Attend SHIFT'23 in Bentonville, Arkansas, for an exclusive keynote interview with CPSC Commissioner Mary T. Boyle discussing the agency's regulatory priorities for lithium ion batteries, bicycle regulations, product certification, rider safety, and more.
"We are honored to welcome Commissioner Boyle to Northwest Arkansas this fall to speak to our industry on how the federal government is responding to the rapid growth of electric bicycles," said Jenn Dice, president and CEO of PeopleForBikes. "PeopleForBikes engages closely with the CPSC on behalf of the entire bike industry to shape federal e-bike regulations. Commissioner Boyle's keynote at SHIFT'23 will offer an inside look at what these regulations mean for our industry going forward."
Commissioner Mary T. Boyle was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on June 22, 2022. Prior to her confirmation, Commissioner Boyle spent more than a decade at the CPSC in senior positions across the agency, including executive director and general counsel. In those roles, she worked on a broad range of issues, including policy, administration, litigation, product recalls, civil penalty negotiations, and the development of rules and regulations.
