    Sounds exactly how it was regulated in Germany, except for the license I think. It’s pretty much handled the same as a moped, which I think is totally fair.

      Don’t you need a licence for moped in Germany? In Finland you need one unless you’re born before 1980 I think. Same with motorcycles.

          Huh. We don’t have those. Here moped is defined as having maximum of 50cc engine and speed limited to 45kph. You need a license for those which you can get when you’re 15.

      According to the article, those limits are regulated on EU level. Which also makes perfect sense, since that allows for a single market of e-bikes.

        Yes, they’re now. Those laws existed for much longer within Germany already though, hence why I compared them.
