No, it is not necessary for your CIAO to be registered to proceed with the installation of the e-bike conversion kit. Indeed, once transformed into a pedal-assisted electric bicycle, the vehicle leaves the category of motorized mopeds that require a license plate, adhering to the specific regulations for e-bikes that do not require this need.

In Italy: for CIAO that have been registered from 2006 onwards, the process is simple: you can suspend the license plate at any ACI (Automobile Club d'Italia) branch. This step is useful for pausing the insurance obligation and other legal liabilities associated with the license plate, adjusting the vehicle to its new function and legal status as an e-bike. License plate suspension is an administrative procedure that allows you to manage the transition to e-mobility in a compliant and uncomplicated manner.

In other countries: Check the legal provisions in force.

We remind our customers that the transformation of the CIAO into an e-bike represents a significant change not only in terms of performance and environmental impact but also from a regulatory point of view. Our team is available to guide you through this process and to offer you all the information and support you need.
