Under 16s barred from e-bikes
The Traffic Department in Bahrain has emphasized the importance of complying with legal regulations for the use of electric bicycles and scooters to maintain public safety. Resolution No. 58 of 2026 stipulates that riding electric bicycles by individuals under 16 years old or operating electric scooters by those under 7 years old unless under supervision is considered a violation, with legal responsibility falling on the guardian. The use of these devices is prohibited on roads outside designated areas, such as roads with speed limits exceeding 50 km/h. The department also highlighted the importance of wearing safety helmets and collision protectors, as well as raising user awareness through campaigns and digital platforms. Additionally, the resolution sets a maximum speed limit of 25 km/h for electric bicycles and scooters, bans carrying extra passengers, and prohibits riding against traffic or in ways that endanger safety. These measures aim to reduce risks caused by misuse, encourage parental responsibility in guiding their children, and underscore the importance of adherence to laws for the safety of all road users.
