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.

How customers use them

Our customers typically purchase motorised bikes for:

  • Private land use

  • Off-road riding

  • Hobby builds & mechanical projects

  • Display or show bikes

  • Educational / mechanical learning

Buyer responsibility

The buyer is responsible for ensuring any use complies with local laws and regulations. MotorizedBikes.ie does not advertise or promote these bikes for public road use.
