E-bike robbery in Aschersleben: 26-year-old remains with 2.72 per mille!
In the early morning of July 9, 2025, an incident occurred in Aschersleben that is coming into focus not only because of its drama, but also because of the legal implications for e-bike riders. A 26-year-old man was attacked in the area of the Oststrasse / Schmidtmannstrasse parking lot. The perpetrators, whose identity is still unknown, not only stole the man's e-bike, but also his cell phone. How sachsen-anhalt.de Reportedly, the police closed an investigation on the same day on suspicion of robbery.
The man said he was riding the expensive e-bike when he was attacked by the three unknown men. After the attack, he was taken to the hospital in Quedlinburg for an examination, where a blood sample was taken. A voluntary breath alcohol test showed an alarming level of 2.72 per mille. This leads to a special legal situation, because according to the website kanzlei-kaempf.net E-bike riders have a blood alcohol limit of 1.6, above which they are deemed to be completely unfit to drive.
Legal consequences for e-bike riders
It is important to know that e-bikes are considered bicycles as long as they meet certain conditions - for example, a maximum motor power of 250 watts and assistance only when pedaling. This means that the regulations for drunk driving are not the same as for motorized vehicles. However, if you have a breath alcohol level of 1.6 per mille, you may be required to undergo a medical-psychological examination. The imposed level of 2.72 per mille could have significant adverse legal consequences for the 26-year-old.
So far, investigators have not been able to obtain any concrete information about the perpetrators, although several witnesses have been questioned about the matter. Police remain optimistic and encourage additional information to be reported.
Attempted car theft
Parallel to this incident, police were keeping an eye on another case that was reported on Tuesday afternoon. In the loading dock area of a supermarket on Hoymer Chaussee, a witness observed three young people trying to open a vehicle. While two were standing there, the third was working on the lock with a wire. However, when the young people realized that they were being watched, they fled. Police officers were later able to find fresh damage to the vehicle door and secured evidence. The search for the fleeing perpetrators was initially unsuccessful.
The current developments in Aschersleben not only highlight the challenges in combating crime, but also remind us of the importance of a sense of responsibility in road traffic. The focus is on adhering to alcohol limits and correct behavior while riding, especially for e-bike users who often feel unsure about where the line lies between recreational fun and legal consequences.
