E-scooters, electric powered scooters, are a hotly debated topic. Until recently it was not allowed to be used in normal traffic; but the issue is now gaining momentum. The legislature has legalized these electric mini-vehicles since mid-June 2019, especially in the last few kilometers to the destination. However, type testing or an approval is required. EUROLAB offers this service to the manufacturers of these vehicles.
Manufacturers wishing to offer e-scooters for future legal road use must be able to offer an official operating license. Without this license, the scooter will not receive any insurance plates for operation.
This labeling is already known from mopeds and small motorcycles. Without this type of labeling, there is no insurance protection in the event of an accident.
EUROLAB experts know the requirements that must be met to obtain an official business license. Important components in e-scooters are lighting, in particular the front and rear lights, as well as reflectors at the front, sides and rear - an acoustic signal and two brakes that work independently of each other. Blinkers, a brake light, and a rearview mirror are not required for an official business license, but are possible options. Other focuses of testing include testing on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), motor performance and battery safety.
In addition to static analyzes in laboratories, EUROLAB It also carries out application-oriented tests that demonstrate suitability for daily use and use in road traffic. For example, as part of driving dynamics tests, scooters must also demonstrate that they can overcome small obstacles without any problems.
