Kan ik bij jullie zien of een model is toegelaten?

Wij publiceren de technische specificaties per model. De toelatingsstatus voor de openbare weg wordt door de nationale instanties bepaald en kan wijzigen, dus controleer die altijd bij de RDW of de Belgische autoriteiten voordat je op de openbare weg rijdt.

Mag mijn kind op een e-step rijden?

Op eigen terrein kan dat, en daar zijn de K100 en K100 Max voor gemaakt, met een instelbare snelheidslimiet via de app. Voor de openbare weg gelden leeftijds- en toelatingseisen die per land verschillen. Zoek die op bij de bron voordat je je kind de weg op laat.

Wat als ik na aankoop toch twijfel?

Je hebt 30 dagen bedenktijd. Op onze e-steps geldt daarnaast 24 maanden garantie. De voorwaarden staan op onze retourpagina en garantiepagina.

Buying an electric scooter in 2026: these are the rules in the Netherl

[CONCEPT - EDITING REQUIRED: all legal facts in this article are marked with [CHECK] and must be verified with RDW.nl, rijksoverheid.nl, and the Belgian highway code before publication. Do not publish without this check.]

The short answer

In the Netherlands, an electric scooter is only allowed on public roads if the model has been officially approved or designated by the RDW [CHECK: current status and category]. For approved e-scooters, a license plate requirement has been in effect since July 1, 2025 [CHECK: date and transitional arrangement]. Different rules apply in Belgium: e-scooters up to 25 km/h are allowed on public roads there, with a minimum age of 16 [CHECK: current Belgian highway code].

Netherlands: approval and license plate

In the Netherlands, an e-scooter falls under special mopeds or the new LEV regulations [CHECK: which framework applies in 2026]. Important to know before you buy:

Only models approved or designated by the RDW are allowed on public roads.
Non-approved e-scooters may only be used on private property.
Approved models are subject to a license plate requirement and an insurance obligation [CHECK].

Always check the current approval register on rdw.nl before purchasing.

Belgium: 25 km/h and minimum age

In Belgium, the electric scooter is equated with a bicycle as long as the speed is limited to 25 km/h [CHECK]. The main rules:

Minimum age 16 years [CHECK: exceptions].
Do not ride on the pavement; follow the rules for cyclists [CHECK].
A helmet is not mandatory but is strongly recommended.

What does this mean for NAVEE e-scooters?

[CHECK AND COMPLETE: current approval status per NAVEE model for the Netherlands. Until then, make no claims. For Belgium: state which models are delivered limited to 25 km/h.] For the current overview, see our product pages or contact our customer service.
