What is the minimum age for driving a motorized bicycle?

The minimum age to drive a motorized bicycle (Mofa) in Germany is 15 years. This rule ensures that young drivers have reached a basic level of maturity and responsibility before using a vehicle in public traffic. Additionally, you must have a special test certificate for the Mofa, but the age requirement is always at least 15 years. This age limit helps improve road safety and is regulated under German law. If another minimum age is mentioned elsewhere, it does not apply to motorized bicycles—only the 15-year rule is correct for this vehicle category.
