About this plate
THE 45 KM/H MOPED, on the smallest plate Denmark issues, 145 x 125 mm, two rows, white with black characters and no EU band. The lille/stor split is the 30 km/h design-speed line, which BEK 663/2025 uses in terms ("En knallert med en konstruktivt bestemt maksimal hastighed over 30 km i timen") but only in its chapter on FOREIGN vehicles; the domestic definition of a knallert is færdselslovens § 2, nr. 7, applied by BEK 663/2025 § 33, and neither instrument defines "lille knallert" in so many words. Recorded that way rather than tidied. This plate is WHITE and the small moped's is YELLOW, which is the reverse of the intuition that yellow means commercial, and is why the two are modelled separately.
