TikTok Shop Updates Electric Bike and Scooter Rules

Starting October 2026, TikTok Shop requires product-specific documentation for each electric bike or scooter. Only lithium-ion cell batteries are allowed. Sellers must list e-bike class, motor wattage, and max assisted speed. Update listings now.

What changed

• TikTok Shop now requires product-specific documentation for each electric bike or scooter sold.
• Only lithium-ion cell batteries are allowed for these products.
• E-bike listings must disclose class, motor wattage, and maximum assisted speed.
• Prohibited items now include e-mopeds over Class 3 limits, lead-acid batteries, conversion kits, and lithium-battery packs over 300 watt-hours.
• Sellers must also follow state and local laws like California labeling and New York City battery safety.

Who it affects

US TikTok Shop sellers listing electric bikes, scooters, skateboards, unicycles, or hoverboards. Sellers with replacement battery packs or conversion kits should check the new prohibited list.

What I would do this week

• Check every e-bike or scooter listing has product-specific documentation ready to submit.
• Add the e-bike class, motor wattage, and max assisted speed to each listing.
• Remove prohibited items like e-mopeds over Class 3, lead-acid batteries, or lithium packs over 300 watt-hours.
• Review state and local rules if you sell into California or New York City.

My honest take: This update moves electric bikes from a category qualification flow to product-specific documentation. The new prohibited list is the part that will catch sellers off guard, especially battery packs over 300 watt-hours. Check your catalog before you get an enforcement notice.
