The practical Busan rule set: where PM devices can go, what is mandatory versus recommended for protective gear, parking, crashes, and why bike paths can feel contested.
PM devices belong on bike paths or the right edge of the road, not sidewalks
For PM, a helmet is mandatory; driver non-use carries a 20,000 won fine
Knee/elbow protectors are Busan safety guidance, not the same verified fine item
Busan has had e-bike subsidies, shared e-bike transfer discounts, and district-level cycling programs. Useful, but always verify the current notice before spending money.
E-bike subsidy notes exist, but current application windows need checking
Geumjeong-gu piloted e-bike and public-transit transfer discounts
Busan keeps cycling activation plans at city and district level
Treat old program reports as leads, not automatic eligibility
