L7eB

L7eB is a classification within the European Union's vehicle type-approval framework. This category specifically pertains to light quadricycles, which are a subset of L-category vehicles. L-category vehicles encompass two-, three-, and four-wheeled motor vehicles. Light quadricycles, as defined by L7eB, are characterized by a maximum unladen mass of 450 kg for vehicles intended for carrying goods (excluding the mass of batteries for electric vehicles) and 425 kg for vehicles intended for carrying passengers (excluding the mass of batteries for electric vehicles).

These vehicles are also subject to a maximum engine power limit, typically set at 15 kW. The maximum design speed for L7eB vehicles is generally around 90 km/h. They must also have a chassis and have a wheel configuration. Unlike certain other quadricycle categories, L7eB vehicles are not restricted in terms of passenger capacity, though practical considerations and regulations often limit them to a small number of occupants. The L7eB classification aims to provide a regulatory framework for a specific type of lightweight, versatile vehicle that bridges the gap between smaller mopeds and larger passenger cars, often used for urban mobility, light commercial purposes, or recreational activities.
