E-bikes are becoming more present in our cities and in our lives. One question is how the legal world is coping with new technologies and societal trends. A bicycle with a little e- is just a bike?

As compare to regular bicycles, electrical bicycles are within the scope of by Internal Market legislation. The present paper is concisely address the relevant legal acts applying to e-bikes, the terminology used, the rules governing the use of e-bikes and the ongoing debate related to insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles.
