As a responsible brand focused on making the highest quality, most confidence-inspiring bicycles and eBikes, we believe that the highest standards of safety and legal compliance are essential.

So you can be sure you’re making the right choice, our safety testing, quality process, policies and legal compliance are independently and rigorously audited by the UK cycling industry’s national trade association, the Bicycle Association (BA) and we are proud to be listed on the BA Register of Safety-Audited E-bike Brands.

Only if we meet the their strict criteria are we listed on their E-Bike Safety Register. 

All to give you assurance that whenever you buy and ride a Whyte eBike, you’re choosing a high quality and fully road-legal electric bike with the very highest levels of safety possible.

“We are proud to be to registered with the BA as it leads the way in driving up awareness of safe eBikes,” explains Whyte Product Director Andy Jeffries. “Our team work diligently and with dedication to make sure we produce eBikes to the highest international standards. This is made possible by working exclusively with our partners, such as Bosch, to only build bikes with full systems. From the very first design conversation we always have safety at the top of our agenda,” he continues, “to give you the assurance that when you buy a Whyte, you’re investing in an eBike with the highest legal and safety standards for total peace of mind.”

Why is eBike safety and legal compliance important?

It’s likely you’ll have seen news stories on eBike fires and understandably be concerned about the safety of eBikes in general. But the evidence clearly indicates that the vast majority of these fires are from unsafe and/or illegal products, often obtained direct from overseas sellers via online marketplaces.

In contrast, eBikes from reputable UK suppliers have an excellent safety record.

Our inclusion in the BA Register of Safety-Audited E-bike Brands is independent recognition of our commitment to the very highest levels of safety, legal and regulatory standards, including those related to battery fire safety and road legal performance.
