Overview
- The new rule now requires every electric scooter to carry an official adhesive ID tag, with police empowered to issue €100 to €400 fines to anyone riding without it.
- Owners must apply online through the Portale dell'automobilista using SPID or an electronic ID, pay the PagoPA tariff N174 that totals about €34.86, and pick up the tag at a Motorizzazione office.
- Provincial Motorizzazione offices report significant delays in producing and handing out tags, even after the ministry said 50,000 had already been released, and consumer group Codacons is urging a postponement to prevent mass appeals.
- Insurance is not yet compulsory for these vehicles and will start on July 16, creating a two‑month window when scooters can be tagged but still lack required coverage.
- The state‑made sticker uses anti‑tamper micro‑cuts, so a bad placement can shred the tag and force a paid replacement, and courts already treat e‑scooters like vehicles with helmet and drink‑driving rules applied.
