In this era of environmental awareness and air quality protection, the term "smart mobility" is frequently mentioned. New alternative methods for moving around the city that are less polluting and more efficient are being explored. Among these alternative forms of transportation, the most widespread is certainly the electric bike. This new mode of transport is convenient, economical, and above all, eco-friendly.

The term "e-bike" is often used to refer to pedal-assist bicycles, also known as pedelecs (pedal electric cycles). These are equipped with an electric motor, which, powered by a battery, assists the cyclist's muscular effort while pedaling.

The electric bike is comparable to a small-displacement moped. Therefore, it follows the same restrictions imposed on scooters, such as the obligation to wear a helmet, possess the appropriate driving permit, have liability insurance, and register with the ACI.

Similarly, e-bikes can circulate anywhere motorcycles are allowed but not bicycles.
