The closing date for entries for the E-Bike Award 2014 has been extended to the 27th June 2014. This year will be the second time that the Award has been conferred.
Submit ideas and concepts
Awards will go to ideas and concepts which integrate electric bikes into everyday mobility, and hence which have the greatest utility for the general public. The three winners will receive 5000, 2000 or 1000 Euros towards implementing their concepts, and awards will be presented on the 2nd October.
Participating member countries will receive the results
The E-Bike Award is an official part of the Implementing Agreement of the IEA (International Energy Agency). Especially inspiring examples of Light Electric Vehicle (LEV) infrastructure will be documented and made publicly available. Subsequently the results will be made available to the governments and officials of the eighteen participating member countries.

About ExtraEnergy e.V.
ExtraEnergy e.V. has carried out independent e-bike and pedelec tests since 1992. Since then the organisation has established itself as the most influential information, user protection and promotional organisation for light electric vehicles (LEVs) worldwide.
The ExtraEnergy Test verdict is a recognised stamp which marks out good products and offers customers reliable guidance for their purchasing. The flip side of independent buying advice is straight-talking warnings about substandard products.
The founders realised from the start that these vehicles need to be experienced first-hand. Since 1997 the Test IT Track has been on the road, and today has three units for the Test IT Show. ExtraEnergy is also rooted at its test facility in Tanna, where 22 years of test reports and LEV history are on display at the LEV Museum.
Other services on offer include presentations and exhibitions at trade and public shows, plus information distribution with the assistance of correspondents worldwide.
Alongside our physical presence, www.extraenergy.org provides a treasure-house of information online. With support from the European Union and the IEA (International Energy Agency), in 2012 the GoPedelec! Handbook was published in German, English, Dutch, Hungarian, Czech, Italian, Spanish and Chinese, including much new information and best practice studies for electric-assist two-wheelers.
As founding members of the EnergyBus and BATSO (Battery Safety Organization) associations, ExtraEnergy is also active on both the ISO (International Standards Organisation) Standards Committee, with a focus on mechanical standardisation, and on the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), and so helps set safety and communication standards for LEVs worldwide.
