Overview
The moped & e-bike theory test is relevant for everyone who wants to ride a moped or use a fast e-bike (up to 45 km/h) in traffic. Depending on the e-bike type, different rules apply – which is why targeted preparation pays off.
You'll find the binding legal conditions and official regulations on our page The way to your driving licence . The current requirements from the competent authority (asa) are integrated there.

❓ FAQ
Are there differences between moped and e-bike rules?
Yes. Depending on the vehicle type (e.g. slow or fast e-bike), different obligations and restrictions apply. Pay particular attention to the rules on protection, equipment and permitted paths.
Why is category M relevant for fast e-bikes?
Because fast e-bikes (up to 45 km/h) can have stricter requirements in traffic than normal bicycles/e-bikes. That is why category M is required depending on the classification.
How do I learn most effectively?
Short learning sessions with real test questions, plus the most important rules and typical traffic situations. Repetition achieves more than "reading through everything once".
