E-Scooter: Is it allowed to drive the vehicle in pairs?

With an e-scooter it is possible to cover short distances within a city. This allows you to move swiftly despite heavy traffic. Therefore, in many cities there are already rental providers that rent the e-scooters. More and more often it happens that the E-Scooter is driven in pairs, but is that allowed at all?

Is it allowed to drive an e-scooter in pairs?

For e-scooters you need a motor vehicle liability insurance, insofar as you have bought your own vehicle. Note here that the e-scooter requires an independent insurance and is not integrated into previously existing insurance policies. While a driver's license is not required, you must be at least 14 years of age. All the regulations that you must comply with are stated in the regulation for small electric vehicles.

1. Driving an e-scooter in pairs is prohibited. You may only drive the scooter alone.
2. In addition, you may not drive the e-scooter under the influence of alcohol. The same per mille limits apply as when driving a car. Sind Sie unter 21 Jahren, gilt eine 0,0 Grenze.
3. Der E-Scooter darf eine maximale Geschwindigkeit von 20 km/h nicht überschreiten. Aus diesem Grund sind die meisten E-Scooter mit einer allgemeinen Betriebserlaubnis gedrosselt.
4. Da lediglich der Halter des E-Scooters eine Versicherung abschließen muss, benötigen Sie keine zusätzliche Versicherung bei einem gemieteten E-Scooter.
5. Doch auch bei gemieteten E-Scootern ist das Fahren zu zweit auf dem Scooter nicht gestattet.
