Summer Trip with an E-Scooter – What to Consider?
Summer is here, and many are planning their holidays, city trips, or camping adventures – and the e-scooter is a popular companion. But what do you need to consider if you want to take your scooter on vacation? In this blog post, we give you a comprehensive overview: from choosing the right model to transport solutions and the legal frameworks in different countries.
1. Transporting an E-Scooter by Car, Train, or Plane
Foldable & Compact: Choosing the Right Model
For travel, a foldable e-scooter with low weight is essential. Models under 23 kg, with a quick-release folding system and a carrying handle, are ideal.
- In the car: Secure storage in the trunk with straps
- On the train: Foldable scooters can usually be taken free of charge (e.g., with Deutsche Bahn)
- On the plane: Pay attention to battery capacity! Max. 160 Wh when carried in hand luggage
Tip: Check with airlines or train companies in advance regarding carriage regulations!
2. Where can you use your e-scooter abroad?
Every EU country has its own regulations. Here are a few examples:
| Country | Max. Speed | Registration Requirement | Helmet Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Germany | 20 km/h | Yes (ABE & Insurance) | No (recommended) |
| Italy | 20 km/h | Yes | Yes (under 18 years) |
| Spain | 25 km/h | Yes | No |
| France | 25 km/h | Yes (Insurance Requirement) | Yes (under 12 years) |
