E-scooters have been approved for road traffic in Germany since mid-2019. E-scooters mostly fall under the German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG). The decisive factor is that the e-scooter has no seat or is a two-wheeler. Scooters with a seat or a different number of wheels do not fall under the ElektroG. Further information in this regard is available on the EAR website:
If you have any questions on the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act, please do not hesitate to contact the take-e-way GmbH consultants by calling +49/40/750687-0 or by sending an e-mail message to beratung@take-e-way.de.
