Electric Skateboard in Belgium: 2026 Regulations

🧭 Official Status

Since June 2019, Belgium has recognized electric skateboards as motorized personal mobility devices (EDPMs). These are motor vehicles (with 2 or more wheels) with a design speed not exceeding 25 km/h.

The Belgian framework distinguishes two categories based on your speed: below 6 km/h, you are considered a pedestrian; above, you are considered a cyclist.

⚙️ Legal Requirements

• Speed limited to a maximum of 25 km/h by design.
• No license or registration required.
• Family liability insurance is highly recommended (not mandatory if limited to 25 km/h).
• Front and rear lights are mandatory, as is reflective clothing.
• Helmets and protective gear are not mandatory but strongly recommended.

⚠️ Warning: if your skateboard exceeds 25 km/h or 4 kW, it falls into a higher category, requiring homologation, a license plate, insurance, and a helmet.

🚧 Where to Ride

• Below 6 km/h: you are considered a pedestrian, sidewalks are permitted.
• Above 6 km/h: you become a “cyclist”, you must use cycle paths or ride on the right side of the road.
• RAVeL routes: open to e-skates limited to 25 km/h, a network of greenways perfect for riding.
