3.1 | Intended use
The Rennfix E-Scooter is an electrically propelled vehicle in accordance with eKFV (Small Electric
Vehicle Ordinance in Germany), and is for private use only. The electric scooter is a means of
transport for a single person on paved roads and footpaths. Luggage must be carried safely on
the rider's person. It must not be fastened to the footboard, mudguard (fender) or handlebar of the
electric scooter.
The minimum legal age for riding an electric scooter in Germany is 14 years. The maximum load is
125 kg (weight of rider plus luggage plus accessories).
The electric scooter must only be used for its intended purpose. The manufacturer and distributor
are not liable for any use other than the intended purpose. This applies in particular to failure to
adhere to the safety instructions and any resultant damage or injury.
3.1.1 | Information for parents and legal guardians:
The minimum age for riding an electric scooter is 14 years. Parents/legal guardians have full
responsibility for the safety of their children who are minors (usually under the age of 18).
They must make sure that the young person has learned thoroughly how to use the electric
scooter safely and responsibly and is fully aware of the hazards.
3.1.2 | Legal requirements
Before using the electric scooter on public roads, the user must thoroughly acquaint himself/herself
with the applicable national traffic regulations and driver's licence requirements for riding electric
scooters in the respective country. The electric scooter must only be used on public roads if it
meets the applicable national requirements and the rider is in possession of the required licence.
A driver's licence is not currently required for use of this electric scooter in Germany. However,
electric scooters are subject to compulsory insurance in Germany if they are ridden on public ways.
Motor vehicle insurance must therefore be obtained and an official insurance plate must be attached
to the rear of the vehicle before use.
