Are electric bikes legal in Ireland?
Yes, electric bikes are legal in Ireland. As long as your electric bike has a motor with a maximum continuous rated power of 250 watts and the motor only assists up to speeds of 25 km/h, it is considered a bicycle under Irish law. This means you can ride it without tax, insurance, or a driving licence. E-bikes that go faster or have more power may be classified as mopeds and are subject to different regulations.

Do I need insurance for an electric bike?
No, if your electric bike meets Irish legal standards, insurance is not required. However, we recommend optional e-bike insurance for theft protection, accidental damage, and liability coverage, especially if you use your e-bike daily or store it outdoors.
Do you need a licence for an electric bike?
You do not need a driving licence to ride an electric bike in Ireland, provided it qualifies as a pedelec (up to 250W and 25 km/h). These e-bikes are treated like regular bicycles, so anyone over the age of 16 can ride one on public roads and cycle lanes without a licence.
How do electric assist bikes work?
Electric assist bikes, or pedal-assist e-bikes, use a motor that helps you while you pedal. A sensor detects your pedaling force and activates the motor to provide smooth, natural-feeling assistance, making hills easier and long rides more comfortable. The motor stops assisting when you reach 25 km/h or stop pedaling, keeping your ride safe and energy-efficient.
