Buying a Mobylette is cool. Riding one legally is even better. Here are the basic rules to know to stay on the right side of the law.
AM (or B) license
To ride an approved electric Mobylette (L1e-b), you need:
-
Either a B license (car)
-
Or an AM license (formerly BSR) from age 14
Helmet and gloves mandatory
Wearing an approved helmet is mandatory, as are CE-certified gloves. This equipment protects you in the event of a fall and is required by law.
License plate + insurance
An approved Mobylette must be registered as a standard moped. It must also be insured (at least with third-party liability).
Speed limits
L1e-b mopeds are limited to 45 km/h. They cannot travel on dual carriageways or motorways.
