Hi all
I've just moved to France and thinking about purchasing an electric scooter, however, I'd like to know what the regulations are. Eg...taxes, registration etc. I don't have a driving license.
My french isnt good enough hence this question.
Thanks in advance for any help
Also, I;d like to know which scooter to get. Looking for a retro style (although EVT 4000e seems decent) scooter with 45km/30mph speed with decent technical support in France.
Thanks
Hi,
In France you have 3 differnt categories of scooters :
-small scooters (under 45km/h speed) : no driving license required, you just need to register (free of charge) and get insurance of course
-medium scooters (125cc scooter about 100km/h speed) : car driving license or motorbike license required
-large scooters (above 125cc) : motorbike license require
So yes you can go to an EVT 4000 for instance. If you are located in paris, I can help you to find a scooter if needed.
