Q

Do foreigners need a license to ride a bicycle in Korea?

A

No. A standard pedal bicycle needs no license or registration in Korea, for residents and foreigners alike. You can buy and ride one freely. Only higher-powered electric bikes that are legally closer to mopeds may require a license, so confirm your e-bike's class with your district office first.
