Metrolinx bans non-certified e-bike batteries from GO Trains on April 9th for safety concerns.
Metrolinx, Ontario's provincial transit agency, will ban non-certified e-bike batteries without UL or CE certification from GO Trains starting April 9th, due to safety concerns and potential fire hazards. The ban aims to enhance customer safety and align with other jurisdictions. UL and CE certifications ensure products meet required safety, health, and environmental protection standards, and this move follows a rise in fires related to e-bike lithium-ion batteries.
