Legal issues with electric bikes/scooters

[lassebasse]

I wonder what applies to electric bicycles and scooters?

Are they legal and can they be driven on public roads?

Can or should they be registered and can they be insured?

I am almost 80 years old and starting to feel unsure about my old Honda Click and am starting to think about something three-wheeled and electric, a bicycle or a scooter.

Wondering about three-wheeled bicycles. Are they always bicycles when they have pedals or do they become motorcycles when they have an engine? I think I saw in another thread that when the engine is more than 500W, they are motorcycles?

If there is a regulation that classifies them, the follow-up question is whether they should be registered?

Electric scooters, are they legal and should they be registered? Can they be insured.

I would be grateful if someone could clarify these issues.
