Speed and certification by country
How fast Rolley and Rolley+ may go depends on each country's rules. Here is the top speed, the vehicle class and the road approval, country by country.
In each country below, both models can run at their full top speed: 28 mph (45 km/h) for Rolley and 34 mph (55 km/h) for Rolley+. That speed puts them in the vehicle class shown, and each class has its own road approval. Road approvals are planned in every country below, and we will mark each one here as it is granted. The battery is already UN 38.3 tested.
