Overview
SIST EN 15194:2017/kprA1:2022 is a comprehensive European Standard developed by CEN that governs the design, safety, and performance requirements of Electrically Power Assisted Cycles (EPAC) commonly known as e-bikes. This standard applies to EPAC bicycles intended for both private and commercial use, excluding those hired from unattended stations. It is focused on EPACs with a maximum continuous rated power of 0.25 kW and a maximum speed assistance cap of 25 km/h, ensuring a progressive reduction and cutoff of power as speed limits or pedaling cessation occur.
This standard is pivotal for manufacturers, designers, and regulators to ensure that EPACs meet stringent safety criteria and operate reliably under typical use and foreseeable misuse conditions. It covers components including power management systems, electrical circuits, and charging infrastructure, specifically for systems with nominal voltages up to 48 V DC or integrated chargers with 230 V AC input.

The article discusses the European Standard EN 15194:2017/kprA1:2022, which applies to electrically power assisted bicycles (EPAC) for private and commercial use. It excludes EPACs intended for hire from unattended stations. The standard aims to address common hazards and dangerous situations related to EPACs, including misuse that can be reasonably anticipated by the manufacturer. It covers EPACs with a maximum continuous rated power of 0.25 kW, which progressively reduces and cuts off the power output when the EPAC reaches a speed of 25 km/h or if the cyclist stops pedaling. The standard specifies requirements and test methods for engine power management systems, electrical circuits, and charging systems of EPACs with a rated voltage up to 48 V d.c. or integrated battery chargers with a nominal 230 V a.c. input. It also sets safety and performance requirements for the design, assembly, and testing of EPACs and provides guidelines for their use and maintenance. The standard applies to EPACs intended for use on public roads, with a maximum saddle height of 635 mm or more. However, it does not apply to EPACs manufactured before the publication date of the standard as EN.
