Road traffic

Bicycles, electric scooters and pavement riding

The rules depend on the vehicle class, continuous power and design speed. It also matters whether you were riding, pushing it or using a cycle track.

What to check in your case

Distinguish peak power from continuous power. A shared vehicle's ride reference helps identify its model and conditions of use.

Documents for your defence

Full notice or decision, front and back, and evidence of the date of service.

  • Manufacturer's specifications or rental details and model
  • Route and picture of the road, cycle track or pavement used
