COC document for electric scooters and e-bikes

Why COC documents are necessary for electric scooters and e-bikes

As we move toward a more sustainable and efficient transport infrastructure, electric scooters and e-bikes are becoming increasingly common on our streets. These electric vehicles offer a convenient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective solution for short trips in urban settings. But for these vehicles to be integrated into traffic safely and legally, they have to meet certain requirements and standards. This is where COC documents play a crucial role.

What are COC documents and why are they important?

COC stands for Certificate of Conformity (konformitetsintyg in Swedish). It is a document issued by the manufacturer certifying that the vehicle meets all relevant safety and performance requirements under EU directives. For other vehicle types, such as cars and motorcycles, the COC document is standard and required in order to register the vehicle with the Swedish Transport Agency and use it legally on the roads.

Why are COC documents needed for electric scooters and e-bikes?

Although e-scooters and e-bikes may seem small and harmless, it's important to remember that they are still part of traffic and that road safety has to be a priority. COC documents are essential to ensure that these vehicles have undergone the necessary testing and meet the safety requirements needed to protect both riders and other road users.

Registration with the Swedish Transport Agency

All vehicles subject to registration must be registered with the Swedish Transport Agency if you intend to ride them in traffic. Fast electric scooters may be ridden without registration on private, enclosed property.

The requirements for each type of vehicle must comply with EU directives. In most cases, you'll be required to present a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for the vehicle, issued by the manufacturer.

Registration documents and responsibility

We want to stress that we cannot guarantee this document will be accepted for registration with the Swedish Transport Agency or any other authority, whether in Sweden or abroad.

We therefore recommend that you, as the customer, check the applicable requirements yourself before buying, especially if you plan to register the electric vehicle for road use.
