Are Electric Skateboards Legal in Europe? (2025 Country-by-Country Guide)

Let’s be honest — electric skateboards are growing fast across Europe, but the laws are still far behind.
Every country treats them differently, and many riders are left wondering:

“Can I legally ride my electric skateboard here?”

The answer depends on where you are — and how responsibly you ride.
Here’s a clear overview, written by real riders and the team behind ONSRA.

🇪🇺 The Reality in Europe

Unlike e-bikes and scooters, there’s no unified EU law for electric skateboards yet.
Each country sets its own rules, and in many places, they’re still technically “not approved for public roads.”

But that doesn’t mean you can’t ride.
It means you need to ride smart — in safe areas, away from traffic and pedestrians.

At ONSRA, we always recommend:
✅ Ride where there are no cars — quiet mountain roads, forest paths, or private grounds.
✅ Ride respectfully — don’t endanger others.
✅ Ride with protection — helmet and gloves are a must.

There are also official esk8 races and group rides across Europe where riders meet legally and safely — from France to Germany to the Czech Republic.

We can’t promise you’ll never be stopped by police, but if you ride safely, slowly, and away from traffic, you almost never get any problems.

⚖️ Country-by-Country Overview

🏞️ Where to Ride Safely

Electric skateboards are made for freedom — not traffic.
So even where the laws are unclear, you can ride safely and responsibly if you use common sense.

Recommended places to ride:

• Quiet mountain roads with no traffic

• Forest paths and wide bike trails (if allowed)

• Private areas and parking lots

• Official race events or group rides

ONSRA boards like the VELAR and BLACK Carve 3 PRO are built for exactly that — smooth control, strong braking, and stability at any speed.

🛹 ONSRA’s Approach

ONSRA was founded by Fabian Doerig, a former professional skateboarder and lifelong rider.
He personally tests every board and takes part in races and community rides across Europe.

We don’t hide behind marketing — we ride the boards ourselves.
We always tell customers clearly:

“Electric skateboards are not allowed on public roads, but if you ride safely and stay away from cars, you’ll almost never have a problem.”

ONSRA riders respect safety, wear helmets, and ride smart.

🇩🇪 Made for Europe

ONSRA ships directly from Germany, so you get:

• ✅ Fast delivery (2–5 days)

• ✅ No import taxes

• ✅ VAT included

• ✅ Local repairs and warranty

We’re the only electric skateboard brand in Europe with a real service center, a 2-year warranty, and parts available locally.

🧭 The Future of Electric Skateboards in Europe

Legalization is coming.
Many European countries are updating micromobility laws, and it’s only a matter of time before electric skateboards are recognized like e-scooters and e-bikes.

ONSRA is part of that movement — building reliable, safe, and powerful boards that meet the standards Europe will soon require.

Final Thoughts

Electric skateboards bring freedom — but also responsibility.
Ride where it’s safe, wear your gear, and stay away from traffic.

ONSRA boards are designed for private use, but built with the same precision and safety as any legal electric vehicle.

Ride smart. Ride responsibly. Ride ONSRA.
