Bicycle and small electric motor vehicle
The supplementary plate indicates bicycles and small electric motor vehicles.
When you see the sign
Read the supplementary plate together with the main sign above it. It shows that the main sign’s mandatory instruction, prohibition or regulation applies to bicycles and small electric motor vehicles, and you must adapt your driving if you encounter or interact with these road users.
Rules
- The supplementary plate has no independent meaning; it specifies whom the main sign applies to.
- The main sign’s regulation applies to both bicycles and small electric motor vehicles.
- A small electric motor vehicle may include an electric scooter that meets the requirements for this vehicle category.
- The supplementary plate specifies vehicle categories, not distance, extent or time period.
- For a passenger car, the main sign does not apply solely on the basis of this supplementary plate, but other signs or rules may still regulate your driving.
Tips
- Always look at the main sign first to find out which rule applies.
- The symbol shows a bicycle alone, but it refers to both cyclists and riders of small electric motor vehicles.
- Be alert for cyclists and electric scooter riders when the supplementary plate is used with a prohibition, mandatory instruction or specially regulated area.
- Do not interpret the supplementary plate as permission in itself; its effect depends entirely on the main sign.
Common misconceptions
- Thinking that the supplementary plate applies only to bicycles and overlooking that it also includes small electric motor vehicles.
- Confusing it with supplementary plate 807.10, which specifies only small electric motor vehicles.
- Thinking that the symbols always mean that bicycles and electric scooters are permitted, even though the main sign may indicate a prohibition.

Theory test tip
First determine the meaning of the main sign, and then use the supplementary plate to decide whom the rule applies to. A common trap is to answer that the symbol grants permission, even when it is displayed below a prohibition sign.
Did you know
The supplementary plate combines bicycles and small electric motor vehicles in the same symbol designation. This makes it possible to specify that one main sign applies equally to, among others, cyclists and electric scooter riders.
Frequently asked questions
Does the supplementary plate apply to passenger cars?
No, not on the basis of this supplementary plate alone. It specifies bicycles and small electric motor vehicles, while passenger cars are indicated by a different supplementary plate.
Does the sign include electric scooters?
Yes, an electric scooter classified as a small electric motor vehicle is included. The vehicle must meet the technical requirements for this vehicle category.
Does the supplementary plate mean that cycling is always permitted?
No. The supplementary plate only states which vehicles the main sign applies to, so a main sign with a prohibition may mean that cycling is not permitted.
What is the difference between this and supplementary plate 807.10?
This supplementary plate includes both bicycles and small electric motor vehicles. Supplementary plate 807.10 includes only small electric motor vehicles.
