What are the MS2514, MS2513, and MS2688-2018 standards
2025-08-11
In Malaysia, MS2514, MS2513, and MS2688-2018 are different technical standards developed for electric vehicles, as follows:
- MS2514 standard: This is a standard developed by Malaysia for electric bicycles, which limits the maximum speed and motor power of electric bicycles. The maximum speed of electric bicycles shall not exceed 25 kilometers per hour, and the motor power shall not exceed 250 watts. At the same time, electric bicycles exported to Malaysia need to obtain SIRIM certification, and the certification standard is MS2514.
- MS2513 standard: This is a standard developed by Malaysia for electric motorcycles. Unlike electric bicycles, electric motorcycles may have higher requirements for motor power and maximum speed, but specific values need to refer to the detailed content of the MS2513 standard. However, it can be clarified that electric motorcycles also need to meet certain technical standards and obtain SIRIM certification when driving in Malaysia.
- MS2688-2018 standard: This is a standard developed by Malaysia for electric light motorcycles. Electric light motorcycles may differ from electric bicycles and electric motorcycles in terms of speed and motor power. Specifically, the speed of electric light motorcycles may not exceed 25 kilometers per hour, but the motor power may not exceed 400 watts (this value needs to be confirmed according to the detailed content of MS2688-2018 standard, but for illustration purposes, a reference value is provided here). Similarly, electric light motorcycles on the roads in Malaysia also need to meet the MS2688-2018 standard and obtain SIRIM certification.
