Alcohol on an e-scooter? A clear rejection!
The same rules apply to alcohol consumption on an e-scooter as in a car!

Whether after a night out at the club or with friends:

The same rules apply to alcohol consumption on an e-scooter as in a car!

 

In plain language, this means:

Drivers of an e-scooter who are still in their probationary period must observe the zero alcohol limit. A blood alcohol level of 0.5 or more is an administrative offense.

A blood alcohol level of 1.1 - also known as absolute unfitness to drive - even constitutes a criminal offence under Section 316 of the German Criminal Code (StGB). There are points in Flensburg for this. There is also the threat of a one to three-month driving ban. There is also a hefty fine.

 

So:

Don't put yourself and others in danger - and don't forget your driver's license: after consuming alcoholic beverages, it is better to take a cab or have friends or relatives drive you home. An e-scooter is not an adequate alternative after consuming alcohol!
