The approval number and type plate must be on the frame and the paperwork must be carried when riding. An ABE also does not replace the insurance plate, which must be renewed each March.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we are being careful here\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard Y700 is specified at 25 km\/h, which is above the 20 km\/h ceiling for an ABE. We are asking ENGWE to supply the KBA approval number and documentation for this variant before we make any road-legality claim for it. Until we have that in writing, please treat this listing as unconfirmed for German road use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eGerman buyers specifically seeking an approved scooter — once approval documentation is confirmed\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad legality and safety\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have asked ENGWE to provide the KBA approval number and ABE documentation for this variant, and we will publish it here once received.
