They land in our streets!
“Overboard”, electric scooter, mini-bike… These motorized wheeled vehicles, usually electrical democratize and it’s a safe bet that they will multiply on public roads. But what are the rules governing their use? How to keep the road safety?
These vehicles require no registration.
For an electric bike reaches a maximum speed of 25km / h, it does not take either. By cons when it exceeds the power of 250w and we exceed 25km / h, and is akin to a moped, the registration is mandatory as the safety vest.
Absolute respect for pedestrians
Often semi-pedestrian area, road landscape merges with sidewalks and pedestrians remain in these circumstances there priority! You are punished if you make the Fungi over 6km / h on sidewalks and pedestrian areas! In addition to walking pace, electric scooter, “PT” and electric skateboard should use bike paths when they exist and if they do not exist, it will be on the road with cars.
The equipment
It is not mandatory but recommended. Knee pads, elbow pads, helmets, protective wrist are needed. A reflective vest is not a luxury.
Good trip and be safe!
