Paris mandates helmets and reflectors for e-bike riders
The city of Paris has imposed new regulations requiring electric bike and other personal mobility device users to wear helmets and reflective clothing, following an increase in injuries and deaths caused by accidents involving these vehicles in 2025. Data show that the number of fatalities among users of these modes of transport rose to 79, compared to 45 the previous year, while serious injuries increased by 33% to approximately 1,100 cases. A fine of 135 euros is imposed for not wearing a helmet, and 35 euros for not wearing reflective clothing, with the aim of improving safety and reducing accidents. This measure comes amid other European restrictions on electric bikes, which have seen limits imposed in cities such as Madrid and Brussels.
