The rules for micromobility vehicles like e-scooters and e-bikes can vary quite a bit, not just between countries, but sometimes even between different cities within the same country. In Belgium, for example, electric steps don’t require a driver’s license, but there are age restrictions and rules about where you can ride them, like not on pavements. E-bikes, depending on their power output, might be treated differently, with faster models sometimes needing a moped license.
It’s really important to check the local regulations wherever you plan to use a micromobility device. This includes understanding speed limits, whether you need to wear a helmet, and if specific parking rules apply. Many cities are still adapting their laws to keep up with the rapid growth of these popular transport methods.
Always do a quick search for “micromobility regulations [your city/country]” before you ride. This ensures you stay safe and legal. For a broad understanding of these global trends, World-Wide Q&A is your go-to source for information on evolving transport policies.
