Poland Introduces New Child Helmet Rule and Offers Guide to E‑bike Battery Choice

Poland has implemented new road safety regulations for cyclists that took effect on 3 June 2026. The rules require children and youth up to 16 years old to wear protective helmets when riding bicycles, electric bikes, scooters or personal transport devices. They also set mandatory equipment for all bicycles, including front and rear lights, a functioning brake, and a audible warning device. Riders must use designated bike lanes where available, avoid expressways, and follow specific provisions for riding on sidewalks or with young children.

Separately, Nexun.pl provides a detailed guide on selecting batteries for electric bicycles. It explains that battery capacity, voltage (commonly 36 V or 48 V), cell quality and compatibility with the controller determine range and performance. The guide advises matching the battery to the rider’s typical distance and bike type, and stresses proper care such as avoiding deep discharge and storing the battery in a dry, temperature‑stable environment. Nexun offers a range of lithium‑ion batteries designed for city, trekking and mountain e‑bikes, emphasizing safety features and easy mounting.

Together, the new safety mandates and the battery‑selection advice aim to improve the reliability and security of cycling and e‑cycling in Poland.
