With the end of the partial closure of the U2, the Viennese Lines are changing their transport policy. From now on, the transport of e-mopeds on public transport is prohibited.
The Viennese Lines are banning so-called e-mopeds from public transport. The electrically powered vehicles often block the entrance area, thus hindering the smooth exchange of passengers, the ban was justified in a statement on Thursday. The new transport policy comes into effect with the reopening of the recently closed section of the U2 tomorrow Friday.
According to the road traffic regulations, e-mopeds fall into the category of bicycles. However, they differ in construction and function from classic e-bikes, the transport companies emphasize. The engine starts by button or lever and not by pedaling. The two-wheelers are often used by delivery services or food deliverers.
