Motorised Bikes – Legal & Usage Information (Ireland)
Important Legal Information
Motorised bicycles sold by MotorizedBikes.ie are supplied as DIY hobby kits or fully built machines intended for off-road or private land use.
Due to changes in Irish road traffic regulations, motorised bicycles are not currently recognised as road-legal vehicles for use on public roads, cycle lanes, or footpaths unless they are individually registered, insured, and approved — which is not practical for most users.
