Daytime Running Lights are Compulsory for All E-Bikes
From April 1, 2022, Daytime Running Lights Will Be Mandatory for all E-Bikes
The essentials in brief:
- Daytime running lights apply to all e-bike types without exception, including e-MTBs and e-Road bikes. In good visibility conditions, daytime running lights are only mandatory for the front light and not for the rear light. Irrespective of this, a rear light must be installed at all times (but not switched on). In the dark and poor visibility, both, the front and rear lights, must be switched on.
- The existing lighting can also be switched on as daytime running lights; no special or separate daytime running light needs to be installed.
- Daytime running lights on e-bikes do not require type approval in Switzerland.
- As (daytime) driving lights, plug-on battery lights are also accepted, which can be removed (to protect against theft and for recharging).
- The (daytime) driving lights must not flash or dazzle and should be visible at a distance of 100 meters. The intensity of the light is not specified more in detail.
