David Reeves Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Hi, as a non Finnish speaker in Finland it can be difficult finding details of the laws concerning EUC´s I know the rules for electric bikes, but not EUCs So before I pull the trigger on a V10 can someone enlighten me on the legal situation? Thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yxzygäilijä Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Maximum legal speed and power is 25km/h and 1kW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Reeves Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 So a V10 with 1800W motor would not be legal? Or would need to be registered and insured? Do they accept the 25KM/Hr being limited in the App? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they accept the 25KM/Hr being limited in the App? No, the structural maximum speed of the vehicle should be below 25km/h. App limited doesn’t cut it. Technically, the faster wheels should be insured to a different vehicle class, but such insurance will first require changes in official vehicle classifications. Not gonna happen, I believe. While recent news mention new Police patrol groups on e-bikes to watch over PEVs and such, so far the Finnish Police hasn’t been interested when meeting me in traffic on my MSX. When I do meet them, I tone down a bit, and slow down to around 25km/h. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
