    You might have to also fit reflectors, dynamo/lights etc etc to comply.

    Not sure if the east of Germany will be easier.

    It's a bit different for road bikes.
    No need for dynamo if you are below 11kg iirc. Small battery lights front and rear are enough.

    This is good to know. I might get another dynamo set up for my tourer anyway but preferably when I'm more flush with cash.
