E-scooters in Lower Austria
The Austria-wide requirements apply throughout Lower Austria. Which cycle route, one-way access or pedestrian zone is actually accessible can be determined from the local announcement and signage.
Classification
Federal rules first, local guidance second
Power up to 600 watts, design speed up to 25 km/h, helmet requirement for those under 16 years of age and the prescribed equipment apply throughout Austria. The federal state does not replace these requirements with its own e-scooter regulations.
However, local traffic signs, cycle paths, pedestrian zones and temporary changes are crucial for a specific route. The capital city guide brings together the appropriate municipal entry point.
Before every trip
Check these three levels
- 01
vehicle
Check technical limits, brakes, lights, reflectors, indicators and acoustic warning signal.
- 02
route
Check cycling facilities, prescribed directions, clearances and possible closures in advance.
- 03
situation
Adjust your speed based on visibility, weather, ground as well as pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
