Electric dirt bike rules in Denmark: what is legal?

Can you ride your Sur-Ron on the road? The short answer is no – but the rules are worth understanding before you buy. Here is what applies to electric dirt bikes and e-bikes in Denmark.

E-bikes vs. electric dirt bikes

An ordinary e-bike is road-legal if the motor delivers max. 250 W and only assists up to 25 km/h. That covers most e-bikes for the city and commuting. Electric dirt bikes such as the Sur-Ron and Talaria far exceed these limits and are therefore not considered e-bikes in the eyes of the law.

Off-road and private land

Electric dirt bikes may be ridden on private land with the owner's permission, or on tracks and areas approved for the purpose. They may not be ridden on public roads, cycle paths or in public nature areas without special permission.

Speed pedelecs (45 km/h)

A speed pedelec such as the Riese & Müller Load 75 in HS version may travel up to 45 km/h, but requires registration, insurance, a number plate and a helmet – and the rider must be at least 15 years old.

Safety above all

Regardless of legality, we always recommend a helmet and proper protection. Electric dirt bikes have enormous torque, and even experienced riders should start in a low ride mode. See our range of gear and protection.

For kids

Junior models such as the Revvi 16" have adjustable speed so children can learn at their own pace – always supervised and on private land.

In short

E-bike (≤250 W/25 km/h) = road-legal. Electric dirt bike = off-road/private land. Speed pedelec = legal with registration. If in doubt, ask us before you buy.
