Can you take a mobility scooter on buses, trains and the metro in Denmark?
Where you can ride with a mini-crosser
Short answer
Electric mobility scooters (mini-crossers) are allowed only on some kinds of public transport in Denmark, as of November 2026. You can take one on DSB, GoCollective and Lokaltog trains, on the metro and light rail, on Movia harbour buses and on Midttrafik city buses. Copenhagen city buses do not accept mobility scooters. Electric wheelchairs are allowed where there is room, but must be switched off while the vehicle moves.
Why
- Mobility scooters need a lot of space and a level floor.
- Trains, metro and light rail have flex areas with room.
- Most buses cannot hold a scooter safely.
Details
Size and weight limits for scooters are set by each operator, so check its own website.
Tip
In Copenhagen, combine the metro and the harbour buses if you travel with a mobility scooter.
What may differ
The list of transport that accepts scooters can change when the joint travel rules are updated.
Common misconception
Many people think a mobility scooter counts as a wheelchair everywhere.
What actually happens
Mobility scooters have their own, stricter rules, and most buses do not accept them.
