Can two people ride one e-scooter in Denmark?
Only one person on board.
Short answer
No. Only one person may be on an e-scooter in Denmark, so you may not take a friend or a child with you. You may not pull a trailer or use a sidecar on an e-scooter either. Carrying a passenger has a guideline fine of 1,000 kr. as of 2025. The rule applies both to rental scooters and to your own.
Why
- Only the rider may be on it.
- No trailer and no sidecar.
- A passenger costs 1,000 kr.
Details
The maker sets a minimum and maximum weight for each scooter, and it must always be kept.
Tip
Travelling in a pair? Rent two scooters, or rent a bike for a child who is too young to ride alone.
What may differ
A scooter with a seat counts as a moped, with other rules.
Common misconception
A small child can stand in front of you on the scooter.
What actually happens
No passenger of any age is allowed on an e-scooter.
