In Belgium, the speed pedelec market has seen a 13.4% increase in new registrations during the first nine months of 2026. Leasing has become the primary acquisition method, accounting for 66.1% of new registrations, while the second-hand market has grown by 32.5%. This growth is heavily concentrated in Flanders, particularly in East Flanders. Simultaneously, authorities in Belgium and France are addressing safety risks from high-speed electric scooters that exceed legal limits. In Belgium, police intercepted a scooter capable of 90 km/h, prompting warnings about the lack of vehicle protection and a rise in accidents. In France, a motorized device was clocked at 92 km/h, leading to its seizure by the gendarmerie. Both countries maintain a legal speed limit of 25 km/h for such devices. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-27: High-speed electric scooters intercepted in Belgium and France Police in Belgium and France have seized high-speed electric scooters clocked at over 90 km/h, highlighting growing safety concerns and rising accident rates. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/high-speed-electric-scooters-intercepted-in-belgium-and-france ### 2026-10-07: Belgium speed pedelec market sees significant growth Belgium's speed pedelec market is growing, driven by a surge in leasing and second-hand sales.
