Police warn: electric bike may legally be classified as moped

Police conducting roadside checks increasingly find irregularities in electric two-wheelers sold as bicycles. A vehicle's classification depends on technical parameters: motor power and voltage, how assistance is activated, and power cutoff speed. Exceeding permitted values can result in reclassification to a different vehicle category, with legal consequences for the user, especially minors.
