The Most Requested E-Bike Customizations Retailers

Retailer requested e-bike customizations (OEM/ODM) — argument map

Customization keyword (what buyers actually type)	What retailers usually request	Why they request it (retail pain)	What you should lock in (OEM/ODM spec)	Source	Where EZBKE examples fit
UL 2849 / UL 2271 / certification mark	“Is the complete electrical system certified?” + “Can you show label/mark on bike or packaging?”	Stores don’t want fire/liability drama, and some jurisdictions require third-party certification + visible marking	Target standard(s), test lab route (NRTL / ISO/IEC 17065), label placement (frame/battery/box), documentation pack	UL / SGS / NBDA	EZBKE positions as OEM/ODM supplier; align compliance + labeling per model line
Pantone Color Matching	“Match our brand color exactly”	Wall display sells. If the color is “off,” the bike looks cheap next to premium brands	Pantone code(s), finish (matte/gloss/metallic), QC delta tolerance, decal placement map	OEM branding guidance	Any SKU—especially city/commuter lines like C02/C06
Custom Logo Printing / decals	“Logo on frame + battery + motor cover”	Retailers want brand recognition and repeat customers	Artwork files, print method, durability standard, placement diagram	OEM branding guidance	Works across EZBKE Electric Bike range
Battery options / long range	“More range” / “dual battery” / “removable battery”	Fewer returns and better reviews; delivery/fleet buyers need uptime	Voltage, Ah/Wh band, removable vs fixed, wiring harness standard	UN 38.3 transport constraints + OEM practice	350W cargo dual battery (long range), commuter models (70 km class)
110–220V charger / global compatibility	“One charger for multiple markets”	Dealers selling cross-border hate charger chaos	Charger spec, plug pack, safety approvals, packaging insert	EZBKE product specs / OEM norms	C02/C06/LN26M03 mention universal voltage support
PAS modes / legal speed	“Make it compliant for our market”	Shops don’t want tickets, fines, or angry customers	PAS tuning, speed limit, controller profile, labeling text	UL + SGS notes on standards; EN 15194 context	C06/M04 explicitly target 25 km/h style compliance
Cargo rack / front box / load rating	“We want delivery-ready hardware”	Last-mile demand, rentals, B2B programs	Rack spec, box volume, max load, axle/brake upgrade	EZBKE cargo SKUs	750W 3-wheel cargo w/ front box, 350W cargo
Flat-packed / container loading	“Retail-ready packaging”	Less damage, faster receiving, easier inventory turns	Carton size, protection, assembly level, spare parts kit	EZBKE product pages	LN26M03 flat-packed, many models list container qty
IoT diagnostics	“Can we do fleet maintenance faster?”	Fleet contracts need quick fault finding, fewer RMAs	Diagnostics module option, data fields, service workflow	EZBKE category positioning	Great for rentals, campus fleets, delivery programs

UL 2849 and UL 2271: retailers now ask “certified electrical system?” first

If you’ve sold into retail, you’ve heard this vibe: “Don’t show me the paint yet—show me the safety file.” That’s because UL 2849 focuses on the e-bike electrical system as a complete combination (drive train + battery + charger), and the industry treats it as a key fire-safety checkpoint.

SGS also points out how the U.S. market pressure grew after CPSC outreach, and how NYC’s law made it illegal to sell/lease/rent certain powered bicycles there without UL 2849 certification and a certification mark displayed on packaging/docs or on the device/battery.

NBDA goes even more direct: they’re urging stakeholders to adopt UL standards and explicitly support retailers who request UL-certified e-bikes and batteries from suppliers.

Practical OEM/ODM tip: write your compliance line in the RFQ like a buyer would:

• “Target: UL 2849 system certification + UL 2271 battery certification.”
• “Marking: label/wordmark on frame + battery + master carton.”
• “Docs: test summary + label artwork + packaging photo.”
  It’s boring, but boring is what retailers want here.

Pantone Color Matching and Custom Logo Printing: branding that sells on a showroom wall

After safety, the next retailer ask is usually brand consistency. If your store runs a commuter wall with matching helmets, locks, and a tidy color palette, one “almost-blue” bike kills the vibe fast.

OEM branding notes commonly list Pantone Color Matching and custom logo printing (frame/battery/motor cover) as standard options, plus finish types like matte or metallic.

How to make this feel real (not powerpoint):

• A shop owner doesn’t say “we want customization.”
  They say: “Can you match our shop’s green? The same green on our sign.”
• They also ask: “Will that decal peel after one rainy season?” (yep, they do)

So, your spec shouldn’t just say “custom color.” It should include: Pantone code + finish + decal placement diagram. You’ll save 20 emails, easy.

UN Manual of Tests and Criteria Sub-Section 38.3: the battery detail that quietly controls your logistics

Retailers don’t always say “UN 38.3,” but your importer, forwarder, or compliance partner will. The UN Manual’s Sub-Section 38.3 lays out required transport tests (T.1–T.8) for lithium cells/batteries, and it treats certain changes (like energy/voltage shifts beyond thresholds) as a “new type” that needs testing again.

Translation into retailer language:
If you swap battery spec mid-stream, you can trigger paperwork pain. That leads to delayed launches, backorders, and retailers get cranky.

So when a buyer asks “can we upgrade the battery?”, your best answer is:
“Yep, but we’ll keep the battery family stable across SKUs, so shipping + compliance stays smooth.”

(And yeah, I know, “family stable” sounds weird. But it works.)

Battery options and global voltage compatibility: fewer RMAs, better reviews

Retailers love range claims, but they hate warranty returns. That’s why you see requests like:

• dual battery
• removable battery
• universal 110–220V charger

EZBKE’s line already hints at the patterns retailers prefer:

• Cargo SKUs highlight dual battery and long-range positioning
• Several commuter models call out 110–220V style global charging support

Where this turns into business value:
A retailer can build a cleaner SKU ladder:

• “Entry commuter” (simple battery, simpler display)
• “City plus” (bigger pack, better display)
• “Delivery spec” (dual battery + heavy rack)

That ladder helps sell-through, and your buyer looks smart in front of their boss. (Not “smart move,” ok? just… less headache.)

PAS, EN 15194, and market speed limits: “legal compliance” is a customization request

Some retailers sell one country. Some sell multiple. Either way, they ask for market compliance—especially around pedal assist (PAS) behavior and speed.

UL notes that EN 15194 is a published e-bike standard, while also discussing how UL 2849 evaluates electrical system safety differently.

On the product side, you can see how different EZBKE SKUs align to different “city legal” expectations:

• C06 lists PAS sensor and a 25 km/h style spec set
• M04 positions itself as a foldable city option with “compliant with most e-bike regulations” language

OEM/ODM spec tip: don’t just say “PAS.” Say:

• PAS sensor type
• assist ratios / modes
• speed cap behavior
• display language + units (km/h vs mph)

Retailers will ask anyway, so you might as well lead.

Cargo hardware: front box, heavy-duty rack, and load rating sell the “last-mile” story

Cargo is where retailers get super practical. They don’t want a “nice bike.” They want a tool.

EZBKE’s cargo lineup gives you clean examples:

• 750W 3-wheel electric cargo bike with large front box = obvious fleet / delivery use case
• 350W electric cargo bike with dual battery & heavy-duty rack = range + utility positioning

When a retailer asks for “cargo customization,” they usually mean:

• rack geometry
• box mounting points
• brake upgrades
• max load labeling

That’s not sexy marketing. It’s what closes fleet deals.

Electric Bike OEM solutions: why EZBKE fits retailer-driven customization

EZBKE positions its Electric Bike category around OEM-ready features like sodium batteries (-15°C) and IoT diagnostics, and also frames itself as an OEM supplier with scalable manufacturing and flexible customization.

And your product pages make it easy to “match a request to a SKU” fast:

• Wholesale Peak Power 450W Electric Bike calls out power and certification language like CE / EN15194 on the spec block
• C02 and C06 read like commuter templates retailers can rebrand (gears, lights, packaging, etc.)
• Folding options (like LN26M03 and M04) map well to “apartment commuter” and “store-and-go” channels

Also, you asked for Urban M to show up naturally: your About page ties Urban M to Wuhan Jiebu Electronics and positions it as a mobility brand.

Packaging size, flat-packed, and container loading: the unsexy customization that retailers love

A retailer buyer might never say “container optimization,” but they’ll absolutely say:
“Can you ship it safer, and can my warehouse process it fast?”

EZBKE pages repeatedly mention compact packaging, flat-packed shipping, and loading quantities (which matters for stocking plans and damage rates).

Quick, practical add-on: include a “spares bag” (pads, inner tube, common bolts) by default. It reduces service tickets. It also makes your dealer network feel supported. simple but works.
