Bosnia electric scooter regulation

Entities: Nenad Lukanović · Electric scooters · Bosnia and Herzegovina · Tuzla

Overview

In early July 2026, Bosnia and Herzegovina’s lawmakers drafted amendments to the Road Traffic Safety Law to create a legal framework for electric scooters, defining them, setting a minimum riding age of 14, requiring helmets, reflective gear at night, limiting speed to 25 km/h, and banning highway use.

By late July, the Parliamentary Assembly moved to formally adopt the proposed rules. The final text retained the same definitions and safety requirements, added mandatory horn and lighting, and stipulated that scooters must use bicycle lanes where available or travel on regular roads limited to 50 km/h. The legislation also prohibited riding under the influence, carrying passengers, and using headphones that cover both ears. Recent accident data—two fatalities since 2020 and over 110 injuries—were cited as the impetus for the new regulations, aligning Bosnia with other European nations that have introduced similar e‑scooter rules.
