Can you take a folding bike or e-scooter on public transport in Copenhagen?

Folded and small enough means free.

Short answer

Yes: on buses, local trains and the Metro you may bring a folding bike or an e-scooter without a bike ticket if it is smaller than 30 x 60 x 100 cm. It must stay folded for the whole trip. A scooter that does not fold to that size follows the normal bike rules, so on the Metro it needs a bike ticket and may not travel in weekday rush hour. DSB trains can have their own rules for folding bikes and scooters.

Why

  1. Size limit: 30 x 60 x 100 cm.
  2. It must stay folded on board.
  3. Larger scooters follow bike rules.

Details

A child’s bike may also come along within the same hand luggage size, as long as at least one paying passenger travels with it.

Tip

Measure the folded bike at home, so you know it meets the size limit before you reach the station.

What may differ

Segways and petrol-driven vehicles are never allowed, and DSB can set other limits for its trains.

Common misconception

All e-scooters are banned on public transport in Copenhagen.

What actually happens

A folded e-scooter under 30 x 60 x 100 cm may come on buses, local trains and the Metro for free.
