As the electric vehicle revolution<\/a> spreads its wings in India, many ask a question: \u2018what are the RTO regulations for riding an electric two-wheeler?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

The answer depends on the type of electric two-wheeler you own.<\/span><\/p>\n

Electric two-wheelers (scooters & motorcycles) with motors that produce less than 250 watts of power and have a top speed less than 25 km\/hr are referred to as \u2018electric bicycles\u2019. Present RTO regulations exempt these electric bicycles from registration. More details below.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Electric<\/p>\n

Any electric two-wheeler with a maximum power output of 250 watts and a maximum speed of 25 km\/hr :<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Does not require a driver\u2019s license.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Does not require a number plate.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Can be driven by people 16 years of age and older.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Does not have to be registered with the RTO.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Does not require insurance.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Does not require a helmet. (However, EVJoints strongly advises you to wear one for safety).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For all other electric two-wheelers (with power output more than 250 watts and speed exceeding 25 km\/hr), all rules pertaining to petrol-run scooters & motorcycles apply. Also, electric two-wheelers with power output more than 250 watts and top speed more than 25 km\/hr need to have a High Security Registration Plate (HSRP) with a green background and numbers written in white.<\/span><\/p>\n
