An e-bike can make hills feel easier, take the effort out of your commute and help you enjoy longer rides. When choosing yours, knowing it’s safety-tested and road legal gives you one less thing to think about.
That’s where E-Bike Positive can help. The industry trust mark makes it easier to find responsible brands and retailers, including Halfords, so you can choose your next e-bike with confidence. Here’s what it means for you and what to look for when buying.
What does E-Bike Positive mean?
E-Bike Positive is an industry trust mark for e-bikes that are rigorously safety-tested and fully UK road legal as Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycles, or EAPCs.
Run jointly by the Bicycle Association and the Association of Cycle Traders, the scheme helps you find verified e-bike brands and approved retailers that take safety seriously.
Why does E-Bike Positive matter?
Reports of fires involving poor-quality or modified e-bikes and incompatible chargers can be worrying. E-Bike Positive helps you shop with confidence by identifying trusted brands and retailers offering safety-tested, road-legal e-bikes with compatible batteries and chargers.
Choose a trusted retailer and follow the manufacturer’s charging and care instructions to help keep your e-bike safe, so you can focus on enjoying the ride.
What does the trust mark mean for you?
Buying from an E-Bike Positive verified brand and approved retailer gives you confidence that:
- Your bike has been safety-tested, with the brand’s safety and quality processes independently audited by the Bicycle Association
- Your battery and charger are compatible, with evidence of battery safety testing checked as part of the audit
- Your e-bike meets UK EAPC rules, so you can ride it wherever pedal bikes are allowed
- You’ll know how to care for it, with clear instructions for safe use and maintenance
Approved retailers like Halfords also commit to servicing and repairs in line with manufacturer instructions, and to supplying compatible, safety-tested batteries and chargers.
Are Halfords bikes E-Bike Positive?
Yes. Halfords is an E-Bike Positive approved retailer, and these brands are E-Bike Positive verified:
All four appear on the scheme’s verified register, with Halfords named as the company audited. This means the safety and quality processes behind their new e-bikes have been checked against the scheme’s requirements.
That gives you added confidence when choosing your e-bike, with our team on hand to help you find the right fit.
