Sacramento CA (5/21/2019) – Golf Outlets USA (Golf Outlets) is a Henderson, Nevada, based company that manufactures electric bicycles. Golf Outlets sold or offered for sale electric bicycles in California, from February 2013 to February 2018.

This case was the result of an investigation performed by California Energy Commission (Energy Commission) staff. The Energy Commission’s investigation and testing process identified that Golf Outlets was manufacturing and offering for sale electric bicycles containing a small battery charger system that did not meet the efficiency standard and were not certified to the Modernized Appliance Efficiency Database System (MAEDbS).

To settle this matter, Golf Outlets executed a Settlement Agreement with the Energy Commission on May 15, 2019, for $3,603.00. The penalty monies are deposited into the Appliance Efficiency Enforcement Subaccount established by SB 454 of 2011 (Pavley). Golf Outlets has also agreed to a compliance plan to redesign the noncompliant model to meet the efficiency standard and certify all models to MAEDbS before continuing to sell in California.
