Classification<\/p>

Federal rules first, local guidance second<\/h2><\/div>

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.<\/p>

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.<\/p><\/div><\/section>\n
