Insurance licence plates for E-Scooters, pedelecs, mopeds and mopeds
For your E-Scooter and pedelec under 45 km/h, you need a so-called foil licence plate, which looks like the familiar metal plate for mopeds, but is smaller and is stuck on the back. Simply order your new foil licence plate via the online dialogue with our partner. After paying the fee, you will receive the E-Scooter licence plate delivered directly to your home free of charge.
You can also order insurance licence plates for two-wheeled mopeds (light mopeds, mopeds, mopeds, mokicks or scooters) quickly and conveniently in this way. You will receive the Badge or licence plate conveniently by post. The traffic year begins on 1 March.
You can insure the following vehicles within the frame of moped insurance:

Single-seater light mopeds no more than 20 km/h

Mopeds, mokicks or scooters no more than 45 km/h
Mopeds, mopeds or scooters that were first put on the road before 31 December 2001, no more than 50 km/h

Small motorised vehicles with positive-ignition engines have an engine capacity of no more than 50 cc, while the engine capacity of compression-ignition engines is 500 cc. The rated continuous or net power is limited to a maximum of 4 kW for light road quads or 6 kW for light quadricycles with a closed passenger compartment.

General operating licence (ABE)
A prerequisite for insuring your vehicle is that it has a valid general operating licence (ABE) for motor vehicles (individual or type approval). In the case of type approval, the operating licence is documented in the EC Certificate of Conformity (EC-CoC) or in the data confirmation. The relevant document should have been handed over to you when you purchased the vehicle.
