The simple answer is yes. Historically, electric scooters in Spain were treated differently across cities and regions, causing confusion for riders and inconsistent enforcement. With safety concerns rising — including accidents involving pedestrians and other road users — the Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) moved to create national standards that cover usage, equipment, speed limits, registration, and insurance.
The legislative foundation includes Ley 5/2025, which introduces compulsory civil liability insurance for light personal vehicles, and a related Royal Decree establishing a national registry for these vehicles.
