E-bikes - legal aspects

In order to take into account the technical development of e-bikes and to increase safety, various regulations were adapted in 2012.
From a legal point of view, an e-bike is considered a "motorbike" Art. 18 of the Ordinance on Technical Requirements for Road Vehicles (VTS). A distinction can be made between:

Light motorised bicycles (Art. 18 Bst. b No. 1 VTS) i.e. single-seater electric bicycles with a maximum motor output of 0.5 kW, a so-called maximum design speed of up to 20 km/h that can be achieved without human muscle power - i.e. with pure motor power - and a pedal assistance that is effective up to a maximum of 25 km/h;
Other motor-assisted bicycles (Art. 18 let. a, No. 2 VTS) i.e. single-seater, single-track electric bicycles with a maximum engine power of 1 kW, a maximum design speed of up to 30 km/h and a pedal assistance that is effective up to a maximum of 45 km/h.

ASTRA has summarised the rules clearly in the following information sheet.

What are the requirements for renting an S-Pedelec (45 km/h)?

The minimum age for long-term hire from Rent a Bike is 18 years. To rent an S-Pedelec 45km/h, you must also have at least a Cat. M driving licence is required (or car driving licence).

Can I transport the rental bike from the long-term rental by public transport?

In principle, the bicycle from the long-term rental can be transported by public transport if the railway service permits this. You must check this in advance at www.sbb.ch. The long-term rental can NOT be transported free of charge on the train. You will need your own bike ticket for this. For further information on self-loading of bicycles, please contact the SBB directly.

Can I exchange the e-bike during the long-term rental?

The rented e-bike can be exchanged during the long-term rental. However, this is only possible with advance notice and if availability is guaranteed. In addition, an exchange fee of CHF 100.00 will be charged. The exchange can only be made at our Rent a Bike locations (Murten, Willisau, Bellinzona and Romanshorn).
