What matters when arranging e-bike shipping

With an e-bike the battery is the decisive detail. Lithium-ion batteries above 100 Wh fall under ADR dangerous goods rules — they cannot simply travel fitted in the frame. Remove the battery and declare it as a separate dangerous goods consignment. Shipped undeclared, the consignment can be stopped during handling.

The bike itself is treated like a high-value bicycle: turn the handlebars 90 degrees, remove the pedals, secure the cranks. At 22 to 30 kg an e-bike weighs considerably more than an unpowered bicycle, so the carton must be correspondingly sturdy. A mid-motor lowers the centre of gravity, which is why the frame also needs wedging against tipping inside the box.

Declare the bike and the battery separately at booking. The bike runs as an oversized or pallet consignment, the battery as a class 9 dangerous goods consignment with its own packaging and labelling. For dealers shipping regularly, a collective declaration is possible. Without the watt-hour figure the battery cannot be classified — the number is on the data plate and belongs in every booking.

Frequently asked questions about e-bike shipping

Can e-bikes be shipped with the built-in battery?
E-bikes with lithium-ion batteries can be shipped by freight forwarder. Since the battery qualifies as hazardous goods (ADR), the charge level must be reduced to a maximum of 30%. We advise you on the exact regulations.
Do I need to remove the battery before shipping?
With many freight forwarders yes – we generally recommend reducing the battery to 30% charge level and packaging it separately in a padded box. This makes transport safer and more regulation-compliant.
How do I package my e-bike correctly?
Rotate handlebars 90°, remove pedals, fix crank arms. Wrap bicycle in bubble wrap and place in sturdy bicycle carton (min. 200 × 80 × 80 cm) or transport case. Package battery separately.
Can e-cargo bikes and cargo bikes also be shipped?
Yes, e-cargo bikes, longtails and bakfiets are transported with special solutions. Due to oversize (often over 250 cm long) please enquire in advance – individual quotes for e-cargo bikes.
Is my e-bike insured during transport?
Basic insurance up to €750 is included. For high-value e-bikes (often €2,000–€8,000 goods value) we strongly recommend extended transport insurance – bookable at checkout.
