More and more to be seen at Lake Constance: Cyclists on E-bikes. Electric bicycles are trending and a great way to master relaxed cycling tours without much effort. Around the lake many routes are rather flat, but with an electric bike it is uncomplicated, fast and comfortable. Slopes and longer distances can be mastered effortlessly - simply perfect for a holiday at Lake Constance. Younger visitors also like to use the bikes!

What to consider with the E-Bike on Lake Constance

Pedelecs are considered bicycles and are exempt from helmet, insurance and driving licence requirements. They may be ridden on cycle paths without restriction.

For S-pedelecs and E-bikes, helmets are compulsory in Germany, they must be insured and the owner requires an operating permit and a driving licence. In addition, they may only be used on cycle paths cleared for mopeds.

If you want to circle Lake Constance on your E-bike, you should note the following: In Austria, pedelecs and S-pedelecs are only permitted on cycle paths and in Switzerland, electric bicycles faster than 25 km/h may only be used with a driving licence, number plate and insurance certificate.

In general, this relatively fast vehicle should be used with special attention to other road users in order to minimize the risk of accidents.
