    LEVA-EU asks the Netherlands to check EU legality of its LEV-framework

    THE HAGUE, the Netherlands - The Dutch government is making very small steps with the implementation of a new legal framework for LEV's. This will include Dutch technical requirements for electric cargocycles with pedal assistance up to 25 km/h and 250W, for e-scooters and self-balancing vehicles with handlebars. For LEVA-EU the process is much too slow and frustrates the market and the industry organisation doubts the legality of the Dutch LEV framework.
