(CH )In Swiss road traffic, e-scooters are treated the same as bicycles. Therefore, e-scooters may and should use bicycle lanes. Scooters with a road permit are allowed to travel at walking speed in pedestrian zones with the addition of "Cycling permitted". In Switzerland, this speed is not legally defined and is therefore a matter of discretion. Normally you walk at about 3 to 4 km/h, so you should not go faster than 5 or 6 km/h. And yes: riding on the pavement is prohibited.There is no type testing or actual approval. But by law, e-scooters are classified as so-called light motorbikes. They must therefore be equipped with brakes on both wheels, lights at the front and rear, as well as a bell, and may travel at a maximum speed of 20 kilometres per hour. A tolerance of 1 to 2 km/h is tolerated, and with pedal assistance one may even reach up to 25 kilometres per hour. The power of the motor must not exceed 48 volts / 500 watts.
