Fatbikes are becoming more popular for recreation and commuting in Europe. In the Netherlands, they are considered regular bikes if they stay within 25 km/h and 250 watts, but exceed these limits, and they are classified as mopeds. European regulations are similar to the Dutch, with some variations across countries like Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy, particularly regarding helmets and registration. Electrosteps.nl ensures all our fatbikes meet Dutch and European regulations, and travelers should check local laws before riding abroad.
