Buying an ebike in Japan? What should I know before getting one?

Can I buy an ebike in Japan and not have any paper work or need a license plate? I see videos on YouTube thats don’t have one but other forums say u need one so I’m not sure what are the requirements. Does anyone know?

  1. The bikes that literally everyone has here? You don’t need anything.

    Are you talking about those bikes that don’t require pedal assist and are fully automatic? Those require a license plate and a driver’s license.

  2. Pedal-assisted and limited max speed up to 25 km/h = do not need. Ebike with throttle – requires license and registration.
