Electric Skateboard in Belgium: 2026 Regulations

🧭 Official Status

Since June 2019, Belgium has recognised electric skateboards as motorised personal mobility devices. These are motor vehicles (2 wheels or more) whose design speed does not exceed 25 km/h.

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

⚙️ Legal Conditions

• Speed limited to a maximum of 25 km/h by design.
• No licence or registration required.
• Family liability insurance highly recommended (not mandatory if limited to 25 km/h).
• Front and rear lighting mandatory, as well as reflective clothing.
• Helmet and protective gear not compulsory but highly recommended.

⚠️ Warning: if your skateboard exceeds 25 km/h or 4 kW, it falls into a higher category. Type approval, licence plate, insurance, and helmet then become mandatory.

🚧 Where to Ride

• Less than 6 km/h: you are considered a pedestrian. Pavements allowed.
• 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 ideal for riding.

🏁 In Summary

Belgium offers a clear and favourable framework for micro-mobility. E-skates are authorised and recognised, provided you respect speed limits and designated riding areas.

A rather e-ride friendly country. Ride responsibly, well-equipped, and enjoy the paths and RAVeL routes with complete peace of mind ⚡
