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 level to ensure compliance.
For FLX ebikes, special legal provisions apply for their limit of use. As an ebike
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 if
desired/required. Before riding on public roads or trails with an FLX ebike 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 ebike retailers, and bicycle
or ebike 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, or if any head- or tail- lights are
required.
