Korea KATS Establishes Standards to Prevent Max Speed Modification of Electric Scooters and E-Bikes
KATS announced on September 24, 2025, that it will establish new safety standards and labeling requirements to prevent the illegal modification of the maximum speed of electric scooters and electric bicycles. By law, electric scooters and e-bikes are limited to a maximum speed of 25 km/h. However, some users have made modifications to these vehicles to allow them to reach a speed of up to 100 km/h, posing serious safety risks to both riders and pedestrians.
To address this issue, the new safety standards prohibit any modification of the maximum speed and require that the following warnings be clearly displayed on both the product and its packaging:
- 누구든 안전기준에 따른 최고속도를 조작할 수 없어야 하며 (No person shall modify the maximum speed according to safety standards.)
- 제조업자, 수입업자 또는 판매업자는 최고속도를 조작할 수 있는 어떠한 방법도 제공하여서는 아니된다 (Manufacturers, importers, and sellers shall not provide any methods to modify the maximum speed.)
