Which e-bikes are legal in Europe?

Legal e-bike checker · EU

Checked 25 October 2026 against EU law (Regulation 168/2013 and the Batteries Regulation) and, where shown, national law. The EU sets what counts as an e-bike. Each country then sets rider age, helmet and where-you-can-ride rules, so check your own.

In the EU an e-bike counts as a bicycle, with no type approval, if it is pedal-assisted, its motor has a maximum continuous rated power of 250 W or less, and the motor cuts out when you stop pedalling and before 25 km/h1. Anything faster or more powerful is a powered cycle or moped in EU law and needs type approval1.

Which e-bikes are illegal in the EU?

  • Continuous rated power above 250 W1
  • Motor help above 25 km/h, or that carries on when you stop pedalling1

Questions people ask

Which e-bikes are legal in Europe?

Pedal-assisted e-bikes with a motor of 250 W or less continuous rated power that stops helping at 25 km/h and when you stop pedalling1. Countries add their own rules on age, helmets and where you can ride.

Is a 500 W e-bike legal in the EU?

Not as an ordinary e-bike. Above 250 W continuous it is a powered cycle or moped in EU law and needs type approval1.

Are throttles legal on e-bikes in Europe?

Only as a start-up or push assist: the motor has to cut out when you stop pedalling1. Germany allows that assist up to 6 km/h2.

Are e-bikes legal in Germany?

Yes: a pedelec of up to 0.25 kW that cuts out at 25 km/h, or when you stop pedalling, is legally a bicycle in Germany2.

What changes for e-bike batteries in 2027?

From 18 February 2027 batteries and their cells must be replaceable by an independent professional, and spares must stay on sale for five years after the last bike3.

What this page is, and isn't

This page is an analysis of published documents: the law and official guidance from EU law (Regulation 168/2013 and the Batteries Regulation) and, where shown, national law, and what each brand publishes about its own bikes. It is not legal advice, and it is not an opinion on any brand or bike. Everything was checked on 25 October 2026, and every fact links to its source.

✓ Legal as listed means the brand's own published specification for that market sits inside the legal limits. It does not mean I have tested the bike or seen its certificates, unless the page says so. ? Can't confirm means a figure the law depends on isn't published, so it can't be confirmed either way. Paperwork counts which documents are public. It is not a safety rating.

Laws change, and cities and councils can add their own rules. Before you ride, check the official source.

Corrections. If you make one of these bikes and something here is wrong, send the document to hello@velorution.com. I'll re-check it within five working days and update the page.

How this site earns. Some “Visit store” buttons are affiliate links. If you buy, Velorution may earn a commission at no cost to you. A brand can't buy a better mark. A store button only appears where a bike is marked ✓, and never on a model with a regulator safety record from the last three years.
