The provided search results discuss new regulations for e-scooters and e-bikes, but these changes are specifically for Austria, not Germany. The new rules, effective May 2026, include classifying e-scooters and e-bikes as vehicles, prohibiting the transport of additional persons or objects on e-scooters, lowering the alcohol limit for e-scooter riders to 0.5 promille, and mandating helmets for e-scooter riders under 16 and e-bike riders under 14. Additionally, e-mopeds will face stricter regulations from October 2026, requiring licenses, insurance, and license plates, and will be restricted from using bike paths (Source 1, Source 2). There is no information in the provided search results about new e-scooter laws or regulations for Germany after February 26, 2026.
