London to unify dockless e-bike regulation under new framework
Mayor announces plan to replace current rules with a single framework for shared e-bikes.
Tenways partners with Minespider on digital e-bike battery passports ahead of EU Battery Regulation date.
Tenways has worked with Minespider to introduce digital passports for its e-bike batteries. The collaboration is aimed at improving battery transparency across the supply chain, according to the release. The move comes as the industry prepares for a key EU compliance date.
The EU Battery Regulation will require light means of transport (LMT) batteries placed on the EU market or put into service to have digital passports from 18 February 2027. Tenways' partnership with Minespider is positioned as a step toward meeting that requirement ahead of the deadline.
Digital battery passports typically record data on battery composition, origin, and lifecycle, which can support recycling and second-life use. For dealers, such documentation may become a standard part of stock handling and customer handover once the regulation applies.
The announcement does not specify which Tenways models or markets are covered first, nor the cost impact. Dealers should monitor how the passport data is delivered and whether it adds administrative steps to sales or servicing processes.
Dealers should prepare for digital battery passport data to become a mandatory part of e-bike sales and service by February 2027. Early adoption by brands like Tenways may reduce compliance friction, but verify how passport data is accessed and whether it affects warranty or returns processes.
