E-scooters in Styria
The rules of the StVO apply uniformly throughout Styria. In the local area there are also signposted cycling facilities, pedestrian zones and traffic-calmed areas.
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.
State capital
E-scooters in Graz
Graz publishes a cycling map with cycle paths, mixed footpaths and cycle paths, cycle lanes and approved special solutions. However, current signage is always crucial for e-scooters.
