Frequently asked questions
Which type of driver’s licence do I need?
The Carver Base and R+ are classified as a moped, which means that you can drive the Carver in the Netherlands with your scooter driving licence (AM). Een auto- of motorrijbewijs (A of B) is verder ook voldoende. For the Carver S+ you need a motorcycle driving license (A) or car driving license (B) from before January 18, 2013. If you purchase the Carver as a disabled vehicle, you do not need a driving license to drive the Carver.
Where am I allowed to drive the Carver?
The traffic rules depend on whether your Carver is registered as a microcar (on the registration plate), as a three-wheeled motor vehicle or as a disabled vehicle (on the insurance plate).
Place on the road for moped (Base and R+)
Even though the moped is legally a moped, the moped belongs on the road. This also applies to provincial roads. Maximum speed on the roadway for a moped is 45km/h. Drivers of a moped are not allowed to use highways and freeways.
For more information on where you can drive a moped and tips for winding routes, we recommend you to the website of Kronkelroutes.nl to view.
Place on the road for three-wheeled motorized vehicles (S+)
As a three-wheeled motor vehicle you drive both inside and outside built-up areas on the carriageway where cars drive.
Place on the road for disabled vehicle (Limited)
Drivers of a disabled vehicle use:
- the sidewalk or footpath (max. 6km/h),
- On a bicycle or moped track in built-up areas (max. 30km/h),
- The bicycle/moped path outside of built-up areas (max. 40km/h) or
- the roadway (max. 45km/h).
Drivers of disabled vehicles are completely free to choose their place on the road. Drivers of a disabled vehicle may not use highways and freeways.
Note: Legislation for this type of vehicle changes rapidly. So check with the municipality if you are unsure of the rules.
Where am I allowed to park my Carver?
Where you can park depends on how you registered your vehicle.
A disabled vehicle (Carver Base & R+) may not park on the pavement. Parking is allowed along the road in regular parking spaces. The parking rules for normal cars also apply to the Carver. For a three-wheeled motor vehicle (Carver S+), this varies by municipality. Some do not allow you to park on the sidewalk, but others do. So always consult your municipality for current legislation.
With a disabled vehicle it is permitted to park on the pavement (as long as you do not obstruct the passage) or the road. When a vehicle for reduced mobility is parked on the sidewalk, no parking fee has to be paid. If a vehicle for reduced mobility is in a parking space on the road, the same rules apply as for passenger cars. So parking fees must be paid. But drivers of a vehicle for reduced mobility can also use a disabled parking card (if they are entitled to it).
Note: Many municipalities are currently reviewing the legislation on parking for vehicles with an insurance plate. If you are not sure what the rules are, contact the municipality.
Where can I insure my Carver?
The Carver Base and R+ are registered as mopeds. The Carver S+ is registered as a motorcycle. In the Netherlands, when you purchase a moped or motorcycle, you are required to have third-party insurance.
