However, an electric motorcycle is considered a motorcycle, not an electric vehicle. Therefore, it should not be driven in the public transport lane.

Violation of this traffic regulation requirement entails administrative liability in the form of a fine of 1 to 5 base units.

In case of repeated violation within a year, the fine will be from 2 to 8 base units.
