E-scooters in Upper Austria
In Upper Austria, the nationwide rules for performance, speed, equipment and behavior apply. Local approvals and the specific cycling route must also be taken into account.
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.

- 01

situation
Adjust your speed based on visibility, weather, ground as well as pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
State capital
E-scooters in Linz
Linz provides information on cycle paths, open bus lanes, one-way clearances and an online cycle map. This makes it easier to classify permissible and everyday connections for e-scooters in advance.
