Use of vehiclesQuestion #15983
Your electric scooter has a maximum useful power of 1.5 kW and a maximum design speed of 35 km/h. What is required to use it in public traffic?
Explanation
Once a device's power tops 1 kW or its speed tops 25 km/h, it no longer counts as an electric micromobility device. It falls under motor vehicles, so all the usual steps apply — registration, roadworthiness test and insurance — and the rider needs the matching driving licence.
KET reference: KET 66¹⁰: A device resembling an electric micro-mobility device whose maximum useful power exceeds 1 kW and/or whose maximum design speed exceeds 25 km/h may be used in public traffic only after completing all the procedures required of motor vehicles.
