Kms E-moto 2026

of course, my friend. i was just correcting the wrong information you gave to potential buyer @[s[w[ when you said "No, it's considered an electric bike and is not subject to tax. You don't need to insure it."

more details on the law:

***Rules for L1e-B e-mopeds***

An L1e-B e-moped is a battery powered cycle that meets the following technical requirements:

Travels at speeds of up to 45 kilometres per hour
Has a maximum power output of up to 4,000 watts
An L1e-B e-moped that does not need pedalling and can be powered by its motor alone is called a throttle assisted e-moped.

As an L1e-B user, you must:

Register your e-moped with Revenue (same registration process as for other vehicles)
Pay annual motor tax of €35
Have completed IBT (Initial Basic Training) motorcycle riding lessons
Hold a Category AM driving licence
Have a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) from the manufacturer so you can register your e-moped with Revenue
As a an L1e-B throttle assisted e-moped user you must also:

Get motor insurance

i hate to break it to you, seller, but technically since it has an output over 250W (and a speed over 25km/h, but that's irrelevant, even if you can 'limit' it), any e-bike with a power of over 250W is considered a 'vehicle' and needs a number plate and an insurance policy. I hate the fact that this new rule came in, but there's nothing i can do about it... here is link: https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/travel-and-recreation/motoring/motorcycle-electric-and-off-road-vehicles/e-bikes/

Is it currently taxed and insured
