E-scooters in Salzburg
In the state of Salzburg, the federal legal framework of Section 68a StVO applies. Signposted cycle paths, local releases and temporary closures determine the specific route.
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.
