Check
Let's check the vehicle
E-scooters and e-bikes can go faster than parents expect — especially if bought used or “tuned”. We guide you through the key signs. This is about protecting your child — not finding someone to blame. You get a calm overview of what to investigate.
- Look at the vehicle if you can — display, cables and equipment. A quick visual check together with your child is often enough to start.
- It is fine to answer “don't know” — the check shows what you should find out. Honest answers give better guidance than guessing.
- ParentPilot does not reproduce legal text — we point to official sources. Links to official Danish road authorities follow in the result.
