How to choose your electric scooter?

To comply with Swiss regulations and move around with confidence, choose a road legal electric scooter. It must be equipped with brakes on both wheels, lights at the front and rear as well as a doorbell. Driving speed is limited to 20km/h, and the motor power of an adult electric scooter must not exceed 500 watts.

On the other hand, being legally considered light motorcycles, e-scooters are subject to specific regulations in Switzerland. In Geneva and Zürich (as elsewhere in the country), electric scooters must follow the same road traffic rules as bicycles. Electric scooters can therefore be used on cycle paths or on the road. But not on sidewalks. On the legal age side, the owner of the electric scooter must be over 16 years old (or a category M license between 14 and 16 years old). And if the helmet is not mandatory, it is nevertheless highly recommended!

The ideal before opting for your electric scooter is therefore to be able to test different models and to get advice, to make the best choice. For example, if you want to ride an electric scooter in Lausanne and in the canton of Vaud. There the height difference can sometimes be important. We encourage you to choose a model with a powerful motor with at least 500 Watts.
