Impactful Policy Frameworks
Electric Bicycle Classification and Safety Standards (Federal/State, Ongoing)
Various state and federal regulations classify e-bikes into classes (1, 2, 3) based on motor assistance and speed, often impacting where they can be ridden (e.g., bike paths, trails) and requiring specific safety features.
These classifications directly affect product inventory choices, marketing efforts, and customer education for Mad Dog Cycles, influencing e-bike sales and service needs.
Product Safety Improvement Act (PSIA) (2008) and CPSC Regulations
The PSIA granted the CPSC significant powers to regulate product safety, including mandatory safety standards for bicycles and accessories, requiring manufacturers to certify compliance.
Mad Dog Cycles must ensure all bikes and accessories sold comply with federal safety standards, affecting procurement and liability.
Sales Tax Nexus Laws (Varies by State, Post-Wayfair Decision)
Following the Supreme Court's Wayfair decision (2018), states can now require out-of-state retailers, including online sellers, to collect sales tax if they meet certain economic nexus thresholds (e.g., sales volume or transaction count).
This affects Mad Dog Cycles' online sales strategy and compliance requirements for collecting and remitting sales tax in states where they meet nexus thresholds, potentially increasing administrative burden and impacting pricing for non-Utah customers.
