  • In the absence of a regulation for electric scooters in the General Circulation Regulations, the use of these elements will be governed by the provisions of the corresponding Municipal Ordinance. In the event that the Ordinance regulates the mandatory use of a helmet, the agent will sanction 200 euros and proceed to immobilize the vehicle.
  • Electric scooters are prohibited from circulating on sidewalks and pedestrian areas, since article 121 of the RGC prohibits the circulation of any vehicle on sidewalks, being punishable by 200 euros, with the nuances that may be established by Municipal Ordinances.
  • VMPs can only carry one person, so the circulation of two people in VMPs is punishable by a 100-euro fine.
  • It will be considered negligent driving and therefore punishable when electric scooters are driven at night without lights or clothing or reflective elements, since it is considered in these cases that the driver does not take the necessary measures to be seen by the rest of the drivers or the necessary precaution to avoid endangering yourself. The corresponding penalty is 200 euros.
  • Municipal ordinances are those that regulate the stops and parking of electric scooters. From the DGT, it is advocated that the sidewalk be pedestrian, but its regulation is exclusively municipal.
  • In cases of infractions committed by minors under 18 years of age, the parents, tutors, foster parents and legal or de facto guardians will be jointly and severally liable for the infraction committed by the minor.
