Announced and planned compulsory contract insurance for electric scooters becomes a reality. In this article, we will summarize the information that all owners of these vehicles in Slovakia and the European Union should know.
Updated 20.3.2024/XNUMX/XNUMX: PZP probably already since August
The European Parliament has approved a new obligation to register and fast electric scooters and segways faster than 25 km/h, which basically includes most powerful machines from China such as Boyueda, Laotie, Kugoo, Kaboo or Teverun. It's already March, but what we still don't have is official information from the government regarding the amendment.
Latest news published on the web e.dennik.sk confirms the nearest possible date for the introduction of the amendment into force, namely August 2024. Of course, this is only an approximate date, since the amendment will still go to the parliament and the government of the Slovak Republic must praise it.
These are not the only news for motorists. Fines for missing mandatory contractual insurance for motor vehicles will also increase to a minimum of 50 euros and a maximum of 5000 euros. So we will have to count with electricity as well. scooters with heavy fines.
PZP probably also for electric bicycles
According to comments from the evaluation of the interdepartmental comment procedure from the portal slov-lex.sk, it is highly likely that the obligation PZP will also have electric bicycles with a power higher than 0,25 kW (250 W).
portal superpoistenie.sk although it states that the European decree omitted electric bicycles, but each state determines the wording of the law by itself. For example, in Germany or France, it is mandatory to insure an electric bicycle. So we just have to wait for the final wording of the law after it is approved by the parliament.
Original article from 23.5.2023:
PZP: This is important information for owners of electric bicycles and scooters

The European Union was forced to take this step by accident statistics
If we consider the years 2018-2023, the number of scooter accidents increased by up to 10 times during this time period. A big drawback is users driving without a helmet, as well as two passengers riding on one device, or excessive speed when driving on the pavement.
Considering these statistics, property insurance manager from Uniqa, Zdeněk Hruška, also gave his statement to the trend.sk portal. You can read his entire statement below:
"With the massive use of electric scooters, the number of collisions and traffic accidents is increasing significantly, even accidents with fatal consequences are increasing abroad. It was therefore to be expected that there would be proposals on the ground of the European Union for effective recovery of compensation for damages, therefore we only welcome this initiative," says Zdeněk Hruška from Uniq.
According to Uniqa, collisions with stationary motor vehicles and injuries associated with collisions with pedestrians are among the most common damage events.
The EU directive must come into force in all member states no later than January 1, 2024. The directive also exempts owners from PZP for the time being fast electric bikes. However, this does not apply to all countries of the country, for example in Germany or France, PZP will also be required for electric bicycles.
How much will the insurance cost?
I'm sure many of you are wondering what the insurance prices for scooters will be. The insurance companies have not revealed this yet, as they do not have the programs ready, but an expert in electric scooters, Ján Urbančík, owner of the e-shop Voltride, in the Facebook group expressed as follows:
"According to the information from the editor, not even the insurance companies themselves know the exact form or price. It should be in the low tens of euros per year. We will see how the law itself will be written."
So we are very curious about what prices the insurance companies will set. How do you perceive this step towards the owners of electric bicycles and scooters by the EU? If you have any other questions about this form of compulsory contractual insurance, feel free to write them to us below in the discussion under the article.

How do they want to put it into practice? The e-scooter does not have a technical license. So how can someone prove to me that it goes more than 25 km/h and weighs more than 25 kg? It is just another product of the EU to squeeze money from people. Sick and ill-conceived
Ok, I have a 14,5 kg electric skate, it's not a bicycle or a scooter, I have to have insurance or something
I think it is right to have insurance for these machines. I myself have a scooter that weighs almost 30 kg and reaches almost 60 km/h. They are fast machines and the center of gravity is high. I drive carefully and try to anticipate situations and so far nothing has happened to me, but even if... insurance is a benefit.
I assume that the price will not be dizzying, if I pay about 90 for a motorcycle, 200 for a car, then the 30 for a scooter is not so terrible.
As I read the comment above, I also wonder how the members want to verify the weight and Max speed of the machine if I don't have any Tech. document on these parameters.
They will probably google it 😁 Or will they carry a weight in their trunk and go somewhere to check the speed themselves? 😆
The gendarme will still sleep, so great that at least I will have the insurance as if he would still drag me around the courts. 🤣
How will they enforce it? That is, apart from the fact that the police will "chase" scooters without license plates 😀 ? They won't sell you a new car without tags. So now the same thing will happen in SK stores? That the sale will be linked to insurance? (ok) but what happens when I order a scooter from abroad? I personally am strongly against insurance. I understand some of the reasons that lead to this. But I also know as a long-time user of e-mail. scooters, that, who here causes the mentioned damages in 95% representation. I have seen 95% of "offences" and disastrous driving only with "borrowed" BOLT scooters. On which I see hung 15-16 year old stinkers, preferably when 2-3 ride it at a time. Or drunken people Friday-Saturday (Bratislava is full of it). I'm not saying that there won't be a scooter owner who is reckless and a moron, but without exaggeration, I've seen few such people over the years and I firmly believe that 95% of problems are caused by rental scooters, drunk people, or 12-13 year olds children who received a scooter from their parents. According to this logic, we must also make compulsory insurance for pedestrians, cyclists, skaters, etc. Because all of these cause traffic accidents, which are not subsequently covered.
I agree with you on this. There should be an age specified. And to tighten the safety accessories.
I have an e babeta, I don't mind insurance, I would just like to know how to insure it since I don't have a brand (it is not mandatory). How will it be treated…..
It's all imaginary, do Bolt have PZP scooters too? When insuring scooters, also bicycles and everything electrical...
Bolts do not have to have PZP because they fall under the 25 km/h category.
and why only electrically skilled cyclists know how to go 30+ and be dangerous
Is it up to date? Where can I insure the scooter, they don't want to insure it or don't know about it anywhere, and I should have it equipped in two weeks
There is no information about it, certainly neither our legislation nor insurance companies can keep up with it.
I agree with you. I am the owner of the strongest scooter on the market, I am afraid that the license plate will only be a small condition of the state, people threaten us with a license plate plus some possibly ridiculous technical license, they certainly won't let us run around without paying. That shot of mine goes 100 km per hour ,Above all, drive sensibly.
Another way to extort money from people 😀
the law does not apply yet.. or not here yet.. in other EU countries it is possible, nothing has been approved in our country, so it does not apply yet and we can still ride any scooter without insurance as of 10.1.2024. in what month will it actually come into effect in our country..since we only recently had a change of government, our government had completely different problems...with the budget and now other things will be dealt with, among other things, for example, presidential elections, European elections, etc. in any case, if it is already approved and we know the amount of the insurance for the year, I hope you will give it here right away.. if it is up to approx. 10-15 ecz per year or up to 20 max, I am willing to pay, if more, I will think about it and maybe prefer a kolobka I will sell it.. in any case, I hope that the insurance will not have to be paid for e.g. kukirin m4 pro or ienyrid m4 pro with max.
The truth is that the amount will be 72 euros. In the Czech Republic, 1800 kcz. So we have something to look forward to.
Where did you get the info from? Even the insurance companies themselves could not comment on the price, so this is shooting prices from the belly.
nonsense! karotka, the biggest scooter tester on YouTube, said in his video that it will be around 10-15 euros max.. 70 would be totally over the line and unrealistic.. when you slowly pay so much for a Fabia.. (around 100 euros)
I pay an annual insurance of €90 for an electric motorcycle with a maximum speed of 28 km/h. 😉
so the scooter will be somewhere around half of this amount... or 15-20e max
Yes, the basis is to buy a scooter under 25 kilos, which does not go more than 25 kilometers per hour, the so-called rule of 25 😀
at least maybe electric bicycles won't be charged here like in Germany or France where they can afford it because they earn a lot more there.. a huge difference.. and scooters maybe a maximum of 15-20 euros, that's all I'm willing to pay per year, no more..
