No licence is needed. Our bikes are pedelecs with assistance up to 25 km/h and count as bicycles in the EU and the UK: no licence and no number plate. In Germany there is no compulsory insurance; rules may differ in other countries, so please check locally.

Riders from about 150 to 195 cm, depending on the model. With seat risers, the Lil’Buddy grows with your child.

That depends on the country. In Germany there is no legal minimum age for pedelecs (up to 25 km/h), but road safety organisations recommend riding in traffic from around age 12. In the UK, you must be at least 14 to ride an electric bike. Please check the rules where you live.

In Germany, yes, if your employer offers company bike leasing, for example via JobRad, BusinessBike, Bikeleasing or Company Bike. You save up to 40 %, and the Lil’Buddy is available from €23 a month. The bike is in your name and can be used by the whole family.

Not with other discount codes. But it also applies to bikes already reduced in the sale or at a promotional price, for example the Lil’Missy Active for €1,999: with the student discount you pay €1,799.10.
