Electric Bike Age Restrictions in Dubai?

In Dubai, electric bike riders must be at least 16 years old, hold a valid UAE motorcycle license or RTA e-bike permit, and complete mandatory safety training. Surron Dubai recommends helmets and approved zones like JLT for safe rides on models like the Light Bee X. Violations incur fines up to Dh300 and vehicle confiscation.

What Are the Age Limits for Electric Bikes in Dubai?

Riders must be 16 or older to operate electric bikes per Executive Council Resolution No. (13) of 2022. Those under 12 require adult supervision by an 18+ cyclist. Surron Dubai enforces this for Light Bee X users, prioritizing safety on UAE tracks.

Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) sets strict age rules to ensure maturity in handling speeds up to 20-25 km/h. Electric bikes, including high-performance Surron models like the Ultra Bee, fall under these guidelines alongside e-scooters. Younger riders risk fines or bans, making compliance essential for family adventures or daily commutes.

Parents often seek junior options, but official rules prohibit unsupervised minors. Surron Dubai advises consulting their DIP2 service center for age-appropriate guidance. Always verify with RTA for updates, as enforcement targets unsafe youth riding in residential zones.

Age Group Requirements Allowed Zones
Under 12 Adult 18+ supervision Designated tracks only
12-15 No independent riding Junior areas with guides
16+ RTA permit or license All approved paths
