The categories:
The product categories represent the different demands consumers have for e-vehicles, or the different ways they use their pedelecs. ExtraEnergy identified the categories after 18 years of practical experience in the LEV sector. The categories were formalized in 2010, when ExtraEnergy unveiled beautiful trophies for the category winners. Since then, the sector has gradually warmed to the categories as identified by ExtraEnergy, as can be witnessed, for instance, in Winora's new e-bike range. Segmenting the sector in different product categories is a reply to the proliferation of e-vehicle products on the market and shows the vastness of the opportunities awaiting electric technology in future. ExtraEnergy believes these categories will help clients in their buying decisions and hopes they will spur the industry to excellence.
The ExtraEnergy Pedelec and E-bike Test:

The results of these tests serve as reliable orientation to consumers looking for e-vehicles to buy. To the industry it serves as regulator and driving force for innovation. Vehicles which have successfully passed ExtraEnergy tests after 1993, carry test seals on their frames, confirming their quality.
