=== Assistant: Below is a spreadsheet-style list showing European countries and their electric unicycle EUC legal status, plus any appโฆ === Below is a spreadsheet-style list showing European countries and their electric unicycle (EUC) legal status, plus any applicable requirements or limitations as of 2025. Note that EUC-specific regulation is rare, so many entries are based on how EUCs are treated under broader micromobility/โpersonal light electric vehicleโ laws, plus rider reports and local interpretations. InMotionEU<ref>{{cite web|title=InMotionEU|url=https://inmotioneu.zendesk.com/hc/en-142/articles/42426981617299-Do-I-Need-a-Driver-s-License-to-Use-My-INMOTION-Product-in-the-EU|publisher=inmotioneu.zendesk.com|access-date=2026-01-09}}</ref> | Country | Legal Status (Public Roads) | Requirements / Limitations | Notes / Details | | ------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | France ๐ซ๐ท | Allowed with conditions | Often requires device limited to ~25 km/h; follow PLEV rules | EUCs treated like micromobility devices; insurance recommended/required by interpretation; helmet recommended. InMotionEU | | Belgium ๐ง๐ช | Allowed (conditional) | Max ~25 km/h design limit for legality; ride on bike lanes/roads | Some interpret that if not limited to 25 km/h by design, vehicle may be illegal but enforcement varies. InMotionEU +1 | | Finland ๐ซ๐ฎ | Generally permitted (grey) | Follow general micromobility rules; usually ~25 km/h limit | Treated under broader light electric vehicle categories; helmets/lights recommended. InMotionEU | | Poland ๐ต๐ฑ | Permitted (practical) | Often expected to follow speed limits and road rules | Some reports say legal with ~20โ25 km/h limits; enforcement varies. Reddit | | Spain ๐ช๐ธ | Grey / local rules | Local city micromobility rules (e.g., ~20โ25 km/h) | No unified EUC law, but many cities allow similar micromobility devices. InMotionEU | | Italy ๐ฎ๐น | Grey / local interpretation | Usually follow e-scooter/PLEV rules (speed ~20โ25 km/h, helmet maybe required) | No clear EUC category; local differentiation. InMotionEU | | Greece ๐ฌ๐ท | Assumed permitted (micromobility) | Follow e-scooter rules, bike paths/roads | No EUC-specific law, covered by general e-vehicle constructs. EVZ | | Czech Republic ๐จ๐ฟ | Grey / unclear | Likely allowed on bike paths at slow speeds | User reports indicate bike-lane use permitted but specifics unclear. Electric Unicycle Forum (euc community) | | Austria ๐ฆ๐น | Unclear / mixed | General micromobility conditions exist but EUC not clearly defined | Reported legal in principle but difficult in practice to not break rules. Reddit | | Denmark ๐ฉ๐ฐ | Unclear / often considered illegal | Some riders report requirements (weight/speed limits) though not official law | Mixed reports; no clear EUC category. Reddit | | Sweden ๐ธ๐ช | Grey | Micromobility rules apply; ~20โ25 km/h typical speed caps | Often compared with e-scooter regulation but EUC not explicitly stated in law. Electric Unicycle Forum (euc community) | | Portugal ๐ต๐น | Grey / generally tolerated | Ride safely with PEV rules (speed limits) | No specific EUC law; interpreted under general rules. Reddit | | Bulgaria ๐ง๐ฌ | Grey | Micromobility rules (speed ~25 km/h) | Often allowed under general PERSONAL electric vehicles. eVolt.si | | Slovakia ๐ธ๐ฐ | Grey | Bike path use with speed limits | Treated like bicycles/PEVs; specifics not explicit for EUCs. eVolt.si | | Slovenia ๐ธ๐ฎ | Grey | Bike path rules and micromobility norms | Helmets for minors may apply; speed rules typical. eVolt.si | | Netherlands ๐ณ๐ฑ | Not legal (strict) | EUCs currently lack legal category; must be RDW approved otherwise prohibited | New micromobility scooter rules exist but EUCs not formally approved. Smart Ride Lab | | Germany ๐ฉ๐ช | Not legal (strict) | Without type approval/insurance, not permitted on public roads | EUCs lack category under Elektrokleinstfahrzeuge-Verordnung and are effectively prohibited. Rubber Rush | | United Kingdom ๐ฌ๐ง | Not legal (private only) | Only allowed on private land; public use illegal | No EUC public road status; similar to e-scooters pre-trial. Facebook | | Switzerland ๐จ๐ญ | Not legal (strict) | Classified as unauthorized motor vehicle; only private land | No legal public road category without special permit. Rubber Rush | | Liechtenstein ๐ฑ๐ฎ | Not legal | Trend vehicles not allowed on public roads | EUC falls into this disallowed category. Rubber Rush | | Ireland ๐ฎ๐ช | Not legal / unclear | Without specific law, generally illegal on public roads | Interpreted like other motor vehicles; no clear EUC framework. Electric Unicycle Forum (euc community) | ===== Common Requirements (Where Allowed / Grey) ===== These frequently apply under micromobility or PLEV laws that might cover EUCs: * Speed limits: typically ~20โ25 km/h as the upper limit for devices on public roads or bike lanes. InMotionEU<ref>{{cite web|title=InMotionEU|url=https://inmotioneu.zendesk.com/hc/en-142/articles/42426981617299-Do-I-Need-a-Driver-s-License-to-Use-My-INMOTION-Product-in-the-EU|publisher=inmotioneu.zendesk.com|access-date=2026-01-09}}</ref> * Where ridden: Bike paths or roads where bicycles are allowed; not on sidewalks unless local rules permit. InMotionEU<ref>{{cite web|title=InMotionEU|url=https://inmotioneu.zendesk.com/hc/en-142/articles/42426981617299-Do-I-Need-a-Driver-s-License-to-Use-My-INMOTION-Product-in-the-EU|publisher=inmotioneu.zendesk.com|access-date=2026-01-09}}</ref> * Helmet: Often recommended, sometimes required for minors; local laws differ. InMotionEU<ref>{{cite web|title=InMotionEU|url=https://inmotioneu.zendesk.com/hc/en-142/articles/42426981617299-Do-I-Need-a-Driver-s-License-to-Use-My-INMOTION-Product-in-the-EU|publisher=inmotioneu.zendesk.com|access-date=2026-01-09}}</ref> * Insurance/Registration: Generally not available for EUCs in most countries, and where required it is a barrier to legality. Reddit<ref>{{cite web|title=Reddit|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricUnicycle/comments/1jiow7m/are_eucs_illegal_in_eu/|publisher=reddit.com|access-date=2026-01-09}}</ref> * Age limits: May apply under local micromobility laws (e.g., 14โ16 years). InMotionEU<ref>{{cite web|title=InMotionEU|url=https://inmotioneu.zendesk.com/hc/en-142/articles/42426981617299-Do-I-Need-a-Driver-s-License-to-Use-My-INMOTION-Product-in-the-EU|publisher=inmotioneu.zendesk.com|access-date=2026-01-09}}</ref> ===== Key Notes ===== * No unified EUC legal category exists across the EU, so most countries use broader e-scooter/PLEV rules as analogies or leave EUCs in a legal grey area. InMotionEU<ref>{{cite web|title=InMotionEU|url=https://inmotioneu.zendesk.com/hc/en-142/articles/42426981617299-Do-I-Need-a-Driver-s-License-to-Use-My-INMOTION-Product-in-the-EU|publisher=inmotioneu.zendesk.com|access-date=2026-01-09}}</ref> * Enforcement varies significantly; in some places police tolerate slow, safe EUC use even if the letter of the law is unclear, while in others fines or confiscation are possible. Reddit<ref>{{cite web|title=Reddit|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricUnicycle/comments/1jiow7m/are_eucs_illegal_in_eu/|publisher=reddit.com|access-date=2026-01-09}}</ref> * Always check local city/county rules, as some municipalities have specific provisions or restrictions for micromobility devices.
