A separate driving licence is not required
for an electric bike. Insurance is not requi-

There is no age restriction on using an
electric bike.
Cycling on cycle tracks is regulated in the
same way as for conventional bikes.
These regulations apply to your bike when
using it within the European Union. Other

to make enquiries about which laws apply.
