Mohamed Abdel Jalil, Moroccan Minister of Transport and Logistics, presented a draft decree to tighten the rules for the use of motorcycles to transport goods and electric scooters. The purpose of the decree is to improve road safety and simplify administrative procedures for these vehicles.
The draft decree defines the terms “electric personal transportation” and “pedal-assisted electric bicycle.” Electric personal transportation is a vehicle without a seat intended only for transporting one person and not for transporting goods, and its speed is more than 6 km/h and less than 25 km/h. A pedal-assisted electric bicycle is a bicycle with two or more wheels and is equipped with an electric motor with a maximum power of 250W and can reach a speed of up to 25 km/h.
