Small electric motor vehicle
The supplementary plate indicates small electric motor vehicles.
When you see the sign
Read the supplementary plate together with the main sign above it. It shows that the regulation indicated by the main sign applies to small electric motor vehicles, such as an electric scooter, and you must comply with the regulation if you are using such a vehicle.
Rules
- Sign 807.10 is used as a supplementary plate and only acquires its specific meaning together with a main sign.
- The supplementary plate limits the regulation indicated by the main sign to small electric motor vehicles.
- A standard passenger car is not covered merely because it has an electric motor; electric passenger cars belong to the passenger car vehicle category.
- Small electric motor vehicle is a separate vehicle category that includes, among other things, electric scooters that meet the requirements for this type of vehicle.
Tips
- Always look at the main sign first before deciding whether it indicates a prohibition, a mandatory requirement or another regulation.
- Do not confuse the symbol with supplementary plates for passenger cars, motorcycles or bicycles.
- If you are driving a passenger car, check whether any other supplementary plates or symbols show that the regulation also applies to you.
- In the theory test, distinguish between a supplementary plate indicating a vehicle category and supplementary plates indicating time, distance or extent.
Common misconceptions
- Assuming that the supplementary plate applies to all electric vehicles, including electric passenger cars and vans.
- Reading the symbol as a standalone prohibition or mandatory sign without taking the main sign into account.
- Confusing the sign with a supplementary plate showing distance or how far a regulation applies.

- BI may park because the supplementary sign does not include electric passenger cars
- CI refrain from parking because the supplementary sign includes all electric vehicles

Theory test tip
A typical trap is to answer that the sign applies to electric cars. Look at the vehicle type shown in the symbol: It indicates a small electric motor vehicle, while an electric passenger car is still classified as a passenger car.
Did you know
From 15 June 2022, electric scooters were classified as small electric motor vehicles in Norway, not as bicycles. The supplementary plate makes it possible to target a sign regulation specifically at this vehicle category.
Frequently asked questions
Does the supplementary plate apply to an electric passenger car?
No. An electric passenger car belongs to the passenger car vehicle category, not the small electric motor vehicle category.
Can the sign stand alone?
It is a supplementary plate and must be understood together with the main sign above it. The main sign shows which regulation applies.
Does the sign include electric scooters?
Yes, standard electric scooters that meet the technical requirements are classified as small electric motor vehicles. The sign can therefore be used to limit a regulation to such vehicles.
Does the sign mean that a particular road section begins or ends?
No. The extent is shown by supplementary plate 804, while this supplementary plate indicates which vehicle category the main sign applies to.
