What documents do you have to carry with you, if you want to drive a small-engined motorcycle?

According to German traffic regulations, when driving a small-engined motorcycle, you must carry three key documents with you:

1. Your driving licence – to prove you are legally permitted to ride the motorcycle.
2. The operating licence or the Certificate of Conformity (COC document) – this document confirms that the vehicle meets safety and environmental standards and is approved for use on public roads.
3. The insurance certificate – to prove that the motorcycle has valid insurance coverage, which is mandatory in Germany.

Having all three documents ensures you comply with legal requirements and can provide proof during traffic stops or accidents. Missing any of these documents can lead to fines or penalties.
