Beginning January 1, 2026, physical and online retailers selling certain Wahoo products in
California are required to collect a Covered Battery-Embedded Product (CBE) Recycling Fee at
the point of sale. This obligation is established under California Senate Bill 1215, which expands
the Electronic Waste Recycling Act.
Why the Fee Exists
Battery-embedded products must be handled through specialized recycling systems to prevent
environmental harm. This program supports the safe recovery of materials and California’s
broader sustainability and waste-reduction efforts.
Covered Wahoo Products Included
The following Wahoo products/devices are subject to the waste recycling fee under SB 1215:
- ELEMNT GPS Bike Computers
- ELEMNT RIVAL
- TRACKR HEART RATE Monitor
- TRACKR RADAR
- TICKR FIT
- SPEEDPLAY Power (Single and Dual)

You can find more details on the program and fee administration through the California
Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) website.
