Overview
- Officers in Büchenbach seized a modified e‑scooter from a 16‑year‑old that police measured as capable of 130 km/h and opened proceedings for driving without a licence.
- Neu‑Ulm police stopped several technically manipulated e‑scooters ridden by minors with measured top speeds from about 40 km/h up to more than 60 km/h and handed the youths to their guardians while keeping the scooters secured.
- In the Bad Segeberg area a 25‑year‑old fled a traffic check at reported speeds above 150 km/h, crashed into parked cars, and now faces multiple charges after officers found false plates, no licence and drugs.
- Investigators probing a suspected illegal race on the A43 found one car reached 245 km/h, executed searches that seized a phone and vehicle, and have launched ongoing criminal proceedings.
- Under German rules e‑scooters are limited to 20 km/h and riders must be at least 14 years old; police say tuning voids type approval and insurance and can expose riders and guardians to fines, points and criminal charges, prompting municipalities to publish warnings and step up enforcement.
