EN 14781: 2005 RACING BICYCLES - SAFETY REQUIREMENTS AND TEST METHODS
This European Standard specifies safety and performance requirements for the design, assembly and
testing of racing bicycles and sub-assemblies, and lays down guidelines for manufacture’s instructions
on the use and care of such bicycles.
This European Standard applies to racing bicycles intended for high-speed amateur use on public roads,
and on which the saddle can be adjusted to provide a maximum saddle height of 635mm or more.
This European Standard does not apply to mountain bicycles and to specialised types of racing bicycle
such as tandems or bicycles designed and equipped for use in sanctioned competitive events.
NOTE: For bicycles with a saddle height of ≤ 435mm see EN 71 and with a maximum saddle height of
more than 435mm and less than 635mm see EN 14765.
EN 15194: 2009 CYCLES - ELECTRICALLY POWER ASSISTED CYCLES - EPAC BICYCLES
This European Standard is intended to cover electrically power assisted cycles of a type which have a
maximum continuous rated power of 0,25kW, of which the output is progressively reduced and finally
cut off as the vehicle reaches a speed of 25km/h, or sooner, if the cyclist stops pedalling.
This European Standard specifies safety requirements and test methods for the assessment of the de-
sign and assembly of electrically power assisted bicycles and sub-assemblies for systems using battery
voltage up to 48VDC or integrated a battery charger with a 230V input.
This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for engine power management sys-
tems, electrical circuits including the charging system for the assessment of the design and assembly of
electrically power assisted cycles and sub-assemblies for systems having a voltage up to and including
48VDC or integrated a battery charger with a 230V input.
EN 16054: 2012 BMX BICYCLES - SAFETY REQUIREMENTS AND TEST METHODS
This European Standard specifies safety and performance requirements for the design, assembly and
testing of BMX bicycles and sub-assemblies intended for use in any type of location such as roads and/
or tracks and/or ramps. It applies to specialised types of bicycle designed and equipped for activities
such as acrobatic ground manoeuvres, stunting and aerobatic manoeuvres and lays down guidelines for
instructions on the use and care of such BMX bicycles. It applies to BMX bicycles on which the saddle
height can be adjusted to provide a minimum saddle height of 435mm or more.
It applies to:
a) category 1, BMX designed for a rider mass of 45kg or less;
b) category 2, BMX designed for a rider mass more than 45kg.
It does not apply to BMX bicycles for use in sanctioned competition events.
No requirements on lighting set, reflectors and warning devices are specified in this European Standard
due to the existence of several different national regulations applicable in the European countries.
