COC document for electric scooters and e-bikes

Why COC documents are necessary for Electric Scooters and Electric Bicycles

As we move towards a more sustainable and efficient transport infrastructure, electric scooters and e-bikes are becoming increasingly common on our streets. These electric vehicles offer a convenient, environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution for short journeys in urban environments. However, in order for these vehicles to be safely and legally integrated into traffic, they must meet certain requirements and standards. Here, COC documents play a crucial role.

What are COC documents and why are they important?

COC stands for Certificate of Conformity, or conformitiesintyteg in Swedish. It is a document issued by the manufacturer that certifies that the vehicle meets all relevant safety and performance requirements according to EU directives. For other vehicle types, such as cars and motorcycles, the COC document is standard and necessary to register the vehicle with the Swedish Transport Agency and to be able to use it legally on the roads.

Why are COC documents needed for electric scooters and electric bicycles?

Although e-scooters and e-bikes may seem small and innocent, it is important to remember that they are still part of the road and that road safety must be a priority. COC documents are essential to ensure that these vehicles have undergone the necessary tests and meet the safety requirements required to protect both drivers and other road users.

Registration with the Swedish Transport Agency

All vehicles subject to registration must be registered with the Swedish Transport Agency if you intend to drive them in traffic. It is permitted to drive fast electric scooters without registration in a fenced area.

The requirements for each type of vehicle must comply with EU directives. In most cases, you will be required to show a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for the vehicle issued by the manufacturer.
