Legal Requirements
The regulations for electric bicycles are constantly
being revised
and may change at any time. Obtain information regarding the current
legal requirements at both a general and local leve
l
to ensure compliance.
For FLX e-bikes, special legal provisions apply for their limit of
use. As an e-bike they can be used both as a purely mechanical bicycle
or as a motor assisted means of transportation, in essence they can
operate as a bicycle at times and not at other times. Before riding on
public roads or trails with a FLX e-bike the user must inform themselves
properly on legal requirements enforced in the user’s country,
state/territory, and city. This information can be acquired by visiting
local e-bike retailers, and bicycle or e-bike associations.
The currently valid, national and local regulations also pertain to
age restrictions and specify the minimum age a user must be to drive
on which part of the road and whether certain driving permits are
required. The regulations for children riding on public roads are also
found here. It will be made clear if a helmet is required by law, what if
any head- or tail- lights are required.
