37023EN - Homologation R200: What is it?

To facilitate the comparison of battery performance in different e-bikes on the market, the R200 standard has been established for homologation under the DIN/TS 31064 norm.

This standard defines the performance of the e-bike. Therefore, the same battery assembled in different e-bike models could provide different autonomy.

This standard sets the test parameters to standardize testing conditions and compare e-bike tests under the same conditions.

It is expected that this homologation will become the market standard for comparing the performance of different e-bikes and their batteries.

R200 Test Conditions
