Garda get new powers to stop dangerous off-road driving as tax on some e-bikes announced

E-bikes that go over 25km an hour and don’t need to be pedalled will soon have to be taxed and insured in Ireland.

The change is among a number of new road traffic regulations signed into law by President Michael D Higgins yesterday [MON].

E-scooters will also be legalised as a new class of vehicle called ‘Personal Powered Transporters’ as long as they have a max speed of 25km/hr and weigh less than 25kg.
