Fat bike legislation
We know, we know - rules are boring, but you still have to know them. We are happy to help you understand the laws surrounding Fatbikes.
Please note: we have a small team, so we cannot guarantee that this page is always 100% up to date.
Possession and driver's license
You do not need a driver's license for a fat bike: this is because fat bikes are legally considered an electric bicycle.
Speed and usage
Fat bikes are allowed to ride on any road where regular bicycles are allowed. You can also use them off-road, but then keep in mind the rules in that specific location. The maximum speed of a fat bike is 25 km/h and the maximum permitted motor power is 250 Watts. Our bikes cannot be tuned to increase the maximum speed.
No helmet
You don't need a helmet for a fat bike, unlike a scooter or motorcycle. This is because a fat bike is simply an e-bike, and e-bikes are exempt from a helmet requirement.
Enforcement
We believe it is important that you cycle safely. Be aware that the rules are there for a reason and are als enforced!
FAQ
E-bikes and therefore also fat bikes fall under the rules for electric bicycles. See Rijksoverheid.nl and type in the subject “bicycle”.
No - many things are changing, but mainly in the enforcement of the speed limit. Because the Pinscher already takes this into account, this is not a problem when you ride our bikes.
