Specialized in NYC - UL Certification?

[mfgrep]

I am hearing from prospective buyers that they cannot purchase a Specialized ebike aside from the Globe models in NYC due to lack of UL Certification. They have to go to New Jersey to see/ride these bikes?

Is there truth to this?

I believe this is true. I’m very surprised Specialized hasn’t gotten certified.

UL is only pertaining to the U.S. Specialized batteries are certified for the EU, the primary Specialized e-bike market (bet Europe is more concerned about the battery safety than the U.S. is). It is no wonder the Turbo Division is headquartered in Switzerland...

One would think that if much smaller companies are able to achieve certification that this should be a piece of cake for Specialized. Very strange.. this rule was inevitable.

Found this, but I don't think it means they are certified.

The Specialized website does not allow e-bikes to be purchased in NYC.

What about Trek, Giant, Cannondale, Gazelle? Are Bosch e-bike batteries certified?
