The Spanish traffic authorities are backing up the new e-scooter rules, with significant fines and enforcement measures:
-
Riding an unregistered scooter can result in fines ranging from about €250 to €800.
-
Operating without mandatory insurance could result in fines up to €1,000.
-
In some cases, vehicles may be immobilised until proof of insurance is shown.
These penalties make clear that insurance isn’t just recommended, it’s essential for anyone who wants to continue using their scooter legally.
