For the first time ever, ExtraEnergy e.V. was at electronica 2010. The association for the promotion of light electric vehicles (LEV) brought its many years of expertise for electric-vehicle test tracks to Munich.
 
The pedelec and e-bike test track made it possible for anyone to try out and experience electronics for themselves. ExtraEnergy was making a modern ramp and support staff available. Visitors were able to test the power of the pedelecs and e-bikes along a 20-meter stretch of test track with an incline of 11%. This mobile test track is part of the GoPedelec project, which is sponsored by the EU
 
Pedelec and e-bike tests
Besides its test-drive offers, ExtraEnergy e.V. has been testing products since 1993. Its objective is to accelerate developments in the market for light electric vehicles and improve quality. It has been publishing its test results in its own "ExtraEnergy Magazin" since 2010. ExtraEnergy also awards testing seals for outstanding pedelecs and e-bikes. The seals are a visible sign of quality, and in many cases they help dealers and end consumers with purchasing decisions.   
 
EnergyBus
The EnergyBus organization has been working on the standardization of electrical components for LEVs for three years. Large enterprises such as Bosch, Sanyo and Panasonic belong to the organization, and other key LEV producers are also expected to join.   

The standardization of LEV components ensures interoperability and safety. Having a uniform, freely accessible standard gives manufacturers more choices and frees up resources for the development of new functionalities. Standardization is also the prerequisite for creating public charging stations and integrating electric vehicles into local traffic. The concept will only succeed if customers can charge their batteries safely and at any charging station.
