Driving ban: then with the e-bike to work?-driving

dpa / oliver mountain Officers who do not hurt a fine or have no money at all, could be punished by 2016 with a driving ban.

You must temporarily submit your driver’s license? Whether you are still allowed to go to work with an e-bike, depends on the type of motorized bicycle. Legal expert Michaela Rassat clarifies.

§ 1 of the Road Traffic Act (STVG) states that two-wheelers whose engine only supports the drive force of the driver, and the maximum of 250 watts of power and 25 km / h maximum speed, are legally treated as bicycles.

This also applies if the engine allows a start-up aid with a speed up to 6 km / h without kicking. These vehicles are usually referred to as Pedelecs. The temporary driving ban does not apply to you.

E-BIKE or PEDELEC: It depends on the speed

However, it is different with the so-called e-bikes and S-Pedelecs. As e-bikes, two-wheelers are usually referred to, which are on the road without a pedal support with an electric motor. S-Pedelecs are pedelecs that reach more than 25 km / h.

These means of transport can be up to 45 km / h, depending on the design and variant – and do not apply as a bicycle, but as a lightweight or as a small force wheel. The driving ban is valid for you.

Anyone who still drives with an e-bike or a S-Pedelec, although the driver’s license is officially kept, makes themselves punishable because of driving without driving license.

  1. There is confusion
    99% of all "E-bikes" are in reality pedelecs. They only drive electric, as long as you … also occurs in the pedals. All pedelecs the max. 25km / h driving can be driven without a driver’s license and with a dedicated driver’s license. All over 25km / h not. E-bikes are bicycles that drive even without kicking the pedals alone, ie quasi "Electric mopeds". There are you as 25km / h and as 45km / h version. Both always need a license plate and must never be driven without a driver’s license.

  2. Germany you are crazy
    Drunk driver has a driver’s license. Drunk cyclist without driver’s license does not have to be feared except the fine. Drunk cyclist with driver’s license loses this and he will bid in an administrative procedure forbidden bicycle. The cyclist with cloth thus loses the most. If only partially hereby has to do, I personally get up to me.

  3. Who drunk in traffic
    Is on the way. He knows the consequences very well. If the cyclist without a rag then catch up to him then only so that you can lose him immediately? With these penalties should be prevented that you do not come to the idea of driving! Alcohol has nothing to look for in traffic. You could noticeably equalize the penalties that even the lobe can feel it.

  4. May I still drive with the e-bike?
    If the rag is gone, then the rag is gone. And then you can not drive a vehicle anymore, on which a license plate sticks. Be it an official, or "just" one of the insurance.

  5. E-bike misunderstood
    E-bikes are bicycles that are on the road without pedal support with 25 km, / h – once again that there are no e-bikes where you are without pedal support alone by the electric motor – how long does the battery last – 800 meters ? I have not read such a cheese yet. Each e-bike is started by the kick into the pedals – and for some or or. Most supports the support of the electric motor only from 6 km / h, not vice versa. The rest is nonsense and pimped e-bikes get by the (illegal) electronics from 25 km / h forapked that they first. 12 km / h are fast and support accordingly up to 50 km / h. Of course, the engine and battery suffer from the additional load.

  6. There are so-called S-Pedelecs (Googling)
    The 45km / h can drive. These must be assured with a license plate, as it has moped and mopeds. To do this, you need the furnace check or a car motorcycle license. Nothing is manipulated, but the wheels are so ex works.

  7. Explains it easier
    Who has a small insurance license plate on the e-bike, can not drive anymore. But these should only be the fewest, 90% should continue to drive without a driver’s license, because bicycles with characteristics are extremely rare.

  8. Only for
    Info dear editor before I spread information that do not vote, there are also bikes with Bosch engines and batteries with 400 watts and a maximum speed with trescent support up to 25km / h

  9. WHEN GIVES FINAL
    The driving license for participation in road traffic on civic stones? Statiled after age and with 2 year old TuV for the holder of the corresponding go (Schu) factory?

  10. Attention watch out what is in the bus notice
    You must not generate generally as described here, always assuming that by bike with auxiliary engine or. Mofa with a top speed up to 25 km / h after a driver’s license. In certain cases, and make country council offices that General is exempted in the bus notice, too valid for moped, then you can not drive a bike with auxiliary engine, that the same applies if you already have a moped one "driver’s license" make.

  11. Mr Gsell
    Nothing else is in the FOCUS contribution. There is explicitly pointed to the different e-bike types.

  12. Public authorities
    If you drive with a normal bike and get alcoholized, can and will be deprived of the driver’s license for cars, "to attend road traffic due to obvious unfitness". That’s the top-fidden legal reason. But you should continue to go on afterwards? That would be pure arbitrariness, which in fact is, too, pure sphere authorities will benefit from the pathological discipline of people.

  13. Before the 1.4.1965 born…
    …may also take moped with withdrawal of the driving license. This was formerly possible license from 15 years.

  14. correct
    and I even mean who has a moped test certificate may continue to take moped, because you do not have to submit this certificate – in contrast to the car driver’s license. My knowledge has never been withdrawn a moped test certificate.
