The Ministry of Transport declared war on scooters The Ministry of Transport prepared draft amendments to the traffic rules, which the media saw. Let's explain what will change: all electric scooters and electric bicycles with a power of more than 250 watts (and up to 4 kW) are officially recognized as mopeds. This means that you will have to study at a driving school, open category M and take the license with you to the traffic police inspection. Only weak models will remain in the status of ordinary light scooters - with a power of up to 250 W and a speed of no more than 25 km/h. Delivery couriers and anyone with a vehicle heavier than 35 kg will not be allowed to ride on the sidewalks - they will have to ride on bike paths or on the side of the road with cars. People will only be allowed to ride on the sidewalk as a last resort: if there is no bike path nearby. It will be forbidden for two people to ride on the same scooter, and for teenagers under the age of 16, access to streets, boulevards and batteries will be blocked. Special markings will be drawn for parking lots: if the lines are blue, parking is paid. At the same time, roads will be closed to pit bikes without license plates and documents, car drivers will be prohibited from turning on bike paths, and light trucks with trailers will be speed limited on highways to 90 km/h.
