Are you allowed to use your motorized bicycle on the pavement?

In Germany, pavements (sidewalks) are generally reserved for pedestrians. You are only allowed to use a motorized bicycle on the pavement if you are not riding it but pushing it carefully by hand. Riding the motorized bicycle on the pavement, even if traffic is heavy or if you treat it as a regular bicycle, is not permitted. This rule helps to protect pedestrians and avoid accidents on sidewalks. Always use the roadway or bike lanes for riding motorized bicycles.
