About this plate
THE 30 KM/H MOPED. YELLOW, and for once the yellow has nothing to do with tax, it distinguishes the small moped from the large one, whose plate is white. Registration is conditional on the purchase date rather than on the vehicle: only a lille knallert acquired factory-new on or after 1 July 2006 must be registered. Invalideknallerter are exempt outright, and a speed pedelec under the trial scheme in BEK nr 878 af 25/06/2018 is not registered at all.
About its years
1 JULY 2006, and the instrument in force today still states it: BEK 663/2025 § 3, stk. 3, "En lille knallert skal kun registreres, hvis den er erhvervet som fabriksny den 1. juli 2006 eller senere." The same sentence stands in BEK 1567/2007, so the rule is at least as old as that text and dates itself. A small moped bought new before that day is on the road unregistered and unplated, entirely lawfully, which a parse API must not read as an anomaly.
