GTS Provides ADR Certification for Electric Bicycles Exported to Australia

Electric bicycles are widely popular among consumers due to their low-carbon and environmentally friendly advantages. According to data from

the National Bureau of Statistics, over 50% of the world's electric two-wheelers are produced in China. As the world's largest production base for

two-wheelers, China exports more than half of its two-wheeler output (including electric two-wheelers). The export volume is expected to exceed

20 million units in 2025. Consequently, an increasing number of electric bicycle companies are actively expanding into overseas markets. This

article compiles relevant technical and trade knowledge regarding the import and export of electric bicycles for your reference.
