As the global cycling industry accelerates toward electrification, smart technologies, and increasingly stringent regulations, Taiwan is actively advancing alignment with international standards. Guided by the Department of Industrial Technology (DoIT), Ministry of Economic Affairs, the “International Trends in Bicycle Safety Requirements” was organized by the Cycling & Health Tech Industry R&D Center (CHC) and held at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center. Co-organized by the Taiwan Testing and Certification Center (ETC), Precision Machinery Research & Development Center (PMC), and UL Solutions Taiwan, the forum focused on global regulatory and testing trends, drawing strong participation from industry, government, and academia.

      The event opened with remarks by CHC President Jin-Yang Li and was witnessed by Chairman Cheng-Chung Pai of TAIWAN WAN Industrial Co., Ltd. A key highlight was the official signing of a MOU between CHC and Portugal’s BIKiNNOV (Bike Value Innovation Center). This milestone marks a significant step forward in Taiwan–Europe collaboration on bicycle standards, testing, and technological development, and symbolizes Taiwan’s advancement toward deeper integration with international testing systems.

      With the rapid development of electric-assist bicycles (e-bikes), cargo bikes, and micromobility devices, bicycle products are evolving from traditional mechanical structures into complex systems integrating electrical components, communication modules, and software technologies. The forum provided in-depth analysis of major international standards systems, including ISO, EN, and UL, helping industry stakeholders better understand safety requirements and compliance pathways across different markets.
