About this plate
MOPEDS, SPEED PEDELECS AND LIGHT QUADRICYCLES, "S" INDEX, from 31 March 2014, a REAL start, given by the entry-into-force article of the instrument that created the category, not by a consolidation date. "P" for speed pedelecs and "U" for light quadricycles were added by the 2019 instrument (in force 01-01-2021), so an S-Pxx-999 plate cannot predate 2021 while an S-Axx-999 or S-Bxx-999 plate can go back to 2014, the one genuine era-inference tell in the Belgian system. Historic mopeds take the "O" index with a letter group beginning "S" (art. 19 § 3), and short-duration temporary and export moped plates BOTH begin "WS" (art. 21 § 4), which is the only place in Belgian law where the export plate does not begin "X".
