What driving license do I need for an e-scooter or e-chopper?

Star-Biker's e-scooters and e-choppers offer you an environmentally friendly and flexible way to get around the city and beyond. But which license class do you need for 25 km/h, 45 km/h, or 125 km/h electric scooters? Here's everything you need to know!

E-scooter up to 25 km/h – Perfect without a driver's license

• No driver's license required
• From 15 years with moped test certificate

An electric scooter with a top speed of 25 km/h is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to move through traffic in a relaxed and stress-free manner. You can ride it without a driver's license if you were born before April 1, 1965. Younger riders only need a moped test certificate, which can be obtained as early as age 15.

E-scooters up to 45 km/h – with car driving license or AM driving license

• Driving license class B (car driving license)
• Driving license class AM (from 15 or 16 years of age depending on the federal state)

With a 45 km/h electric scooter, you can move quickly and emission-free through the city. Thanks to legal regulations, these models can be driven with a car driver's license (Class B). Alternatively, you can obtain an AM driver's license at the age of 15 or 16 to drive a 45 km/h e-scooter.

E-scooters & E-choppers up to 125 km/h – More power for your freedom

• Driving license class A1 (from 16 years)
• Driving license class A2 (from 18 years)
• Driving license class A (all motorcycles)
• B196 extension for motorists

Those looking for more power can opt for a powerful 125 km/h e-scooter or e-chopper. For these, you need at least an A1 driver's license, which you can get at the age of 16.

A practical alternative for car drivers is the B196 extension, which allows you to switch to a powerful 125cc e-scooter without a test:

• Driver training only – no theory or practical test
• Valid for all those who have held a Class B driving license for at least 5 years
• Ideal for commuters & tours outside the city
