E-bike test failures

Interesting article from BikeEurope on a test of some well known ebikes

Industry leader René Takens of Accell Group made this comment:

The ADAC/Stiftung Warentest test once again made clear that every e-bike supplier has to have all its e-bike models properly tested on safety standards and especially on EMC. "As an e-bike manufacturer or supplier it is not sufficient to rely on the EMC compliance certificates that e-bike component suppliers offer on their products. As wiring can act as an antenna, you have to have all your complete e-bike models EMC tested."

I second that and will never sway from my decision.

Always look for the agenda. As in this German test commissioned by German organisations and carried out by a German lab in which German made bikes came top.

And it's a Kalkhoff rider saying that.

That's why I said "interesting", rather than commenting negatively. However, don't miss that the failed Raleigh Impulse e-bike is a German bike, the same thing as a Kalkhoff Impulse, both Derby Cycles gmbh models with different name badges, and the Kalkhoffs also marginally failed the EMC test.
