Registration and Insurance Guide
When purchasing a Boyueda high-power electric scooter, many riders worry about legality. Common questions include:
- Can a Boyueda scooter, which exceeds 25 km/h, be legally used on French roads?
- What happens if the police stop me? Could the scooter be confiscated?
The short answer is: Yes, you can ride a Boyueda scooter legally in France — but only if you follow the rules.
French Electric Scooter Laws (2025 Update)
In France, electric scooters (EDPM – engins de déplacement personnel motorisés) are allowed on public roads, but they must meet specific legal requirements:
- 🚦 Maximum speed of 25 km/h on public roads
- 🛡 Mandatory liability insurance (assurance responsabilité civile)
- 📑 Riders should carry a CE certificate and a valid invoice
If your Boyueda scooter is not speed-limited to 25 km/h, you risk being stopped by the police, fined, or even having your scooter impounded.
How to Make a Boyueda Electric Scooter Road-Legal in France？
Set the Speed Limit to 25 km/h
Boyueda scooters allow speed configuration. By limiting the scooter to 25 km/h, you comply with French road regulations.
Register and Insure Your Boyueda Scooter
Before riding, you must purchase liability insurance. To complete this process, you will need the scooter’s serial number, which acts as the scooter’s unique identifier.
The Importance of CE Certificate and Invoice
Boyueda provides:
- A CE certificate (proof of compliance with European safety standards)
- An official invoice
Carrying these documents is highly recommended. If stopped by the police, you can prove that your scooter is compliant and legally purchased.
How to Find the Boyueda Scooter Serial Number？ (Insurance Requirement)
Serial Number Location in the Motor
The Boyueda scooter serial number is located on the motor housing, and it is required when registering for insurance.
Why Use the Rear Motor Serial Number for Insurance
Since Boyueda scooters usually come with dual motors (front and rear), there are two different serial numbers. We recommend using the rear motor serial number for insurance registration, as the rear motor is generally considered the primary drive motor.
