OPSS has published the resulting research to aid understanding issues relating to e-bikes. The research explores:
- How battery failures occur during real-world use and environments, including scenarios of foreseeable misuse or modification
- The types of processes and materials used in product manufacture that achieve safer design and safer use of lithium-ion batteries
- Potential shortcomings in technical requirements in product standards that have not kept pace with technological innovation
