Number plates
In most EU countries a number plate is compulsory for
speed pedelecs. The requirements and process to obtain
the number plates differ greatly. Please contact your dealer
about this subject.
Driver license and age limit
Speed pedelec riders must have an AM driving licence at
least. For most countries the legal age requirement to get
such a license is 16 years old. In the UK you must be at least
14 years old in order to drive an e-bike. Please consult with
your local government to make sure you are allowed to
drive a speed pedelec in your country.
Insurance
In most countries, such as the Netherlands, a liability
insurance is compulsory. Please contact your dealer about
possible obligations on the subject of insurance in your
country.
Traffic code
In most countries the speed pedelec has to comply to the
same traffic code as mopeds. This generally means speed
pedelecs are not allowed on bicycle lanes, although in
many cases exceptions are made. Have a close look at the
signs to see if mopeds or speed pedelecs in specific are
allowed to drive on a special designated lane.
INFORMATION ABOUT SPEED PEDELECS
As the speed pedelec is a relatively new
vehicle category, legislation is still subject to
modifications at a high rate. This could render
