Full title and description

Battery-electric mopeds and motorcycles — Performance — Part 2: Road operating characteristics. This International Standard specifies procedures for measuring the road performance of electric mopeds and motorcycles that use only traction battery(ies) for propulsion, concentrating on road operating characteristics such as speed, acceleration and hill-climbing ability.

Abstract

ISO 13064-2:2012 defines test procedures to determine road operating characteristics of battery-electric two‑wheel vehicles (mopeds and motorcycles). The standard establishes how to measure and report parameters including vehicle speed, acceleration performance and hill-climbing capability under defined test conditions.

General information

• Status: Published / International Standard (confirmed stage).
• Publication date: September 2012 (2012-09).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 43.140 (Motorcycles and mopeds).
• Edition / version: Edition 1, 2012.
• Number of pages: 12 pages (ISO bibliographic listing).

Scope

Specifies procedures for measuring the road performance (road operating characteristics) of battery-electric mopeds and motorcycles that are propelled solely by traction battery(ies). The scope covers tests and measurements relevant to on‑road performance such as speed, acceleration and hill‑climb capability, under defined test conditions and reporting formats. It is focused on vehicles with battery-only propulsion and does not cover vehicles with other primary power sources.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of road operating characteristics to be measured (speed, acceleration, hill-climbing ability).
• Specified test procedures and sequences for on‑road performance measurement.
• Requirements for test conditions, vehicle preparation and instrumentation to ensure repeatability.
• Data collection, processing and reporting formats for measured performance results.
• Procedures to account for vehicle mass, load conditions and environmental influences during tests.

Typical use and users

Used by vehicle manufacturers and designers of battery-electric mopeds and motorcycles to validate and compare vehicle performance; by independent test laboratories and certification bodies for type‑approval or performance verification; and by research organizations and regulatory agencies interested in standardized performance metrics for electric two‑wheel vehicles.

Related standards

ISO 13064 is a multi‑part series. Part 1 (ISO 13064-1:2012) covers reference energy consumption and range test procedures for battery-electric mopeds and motorcycles and is complementary to Part 2; both parts were published in 2012 and were developed under ISO/TC 22/SC 38. Standards for chassis dynamometer methods and for battery/battery‑system testing (for example ISO 12405 and related EV test specifications) are often used alongside ISO 13064 series methods.
