legal framework conditions

The use of e-scooters is subject to the electrical cleaning vehicle regulation (EKFV), as reported ADAC All e-scooters not only have to have an operating license, but also be insured, which must be proven by an insurance license plate. These insurance costs are between 30 and 60 euros annually, while the electricity costs are less than 1 euro per 100 km. It is not necessary to take out the insurance company and register with the road traffic office.

For the use of e-scooters, specific speed limits and age limits apply. E-scooter must not exceed a top speed of 20 km/h. The minimum age for the driver is 14 years. There is only a helmet obligation for faster models over 20 km/h. E-scooter drivers have to ride on cycle paths or streets and are not allowed to drive on sidewalks. If driving on bike paths is not possible, e-scooters in pedestrian zones may only be operated at walking speed.

outlook on future regulations

In the future, e-scooters should receive more equality for bicycles in transport policy as part of planned new regulations. This could result in better traffic safety, as mentioned on the website of kba . The new reform provides, among other things, a separation of the brakes and the introduction of a flashing obligation. The regulations should come into force in 2025, with a transition period of one year.

The use of e-scooters has developed into a popular type of transportation in urban areas, not least because of their environmental friendliness and the flexibility they offer to users. Otto's current offers show that the market is constantly growing and adapting to the needs of consumers.
