Overview
- The Policía Nacional del Perú started active enforcement on Sunday, August 2, issuing the G32 fine of S/550 to electric motorcycles caught in ciclovías and warning that fiscalization will continue across Lima.
- The Ministry of Transport and Communications says electric motorcycles are category L vehicles not personal mobility devices, so units that exceed 25 km/h must be registered, carry a plate, have SOAT insurance and be driven with a B‑IIa license.
- Fines stack: the S/550 G32 penalty can be added to other breaches such as driving without the correct license (50% UIT, S/2,750) or without SOAT or plate (12% UIT, S/660), and authorities may retain or impound non‑documented vehicles until owners regularize them.
- The MTC had promised a regulation to grant a reasonable adaptation period but had not published that norm as of early August, and the Asociación Automotriz del Perú has asked for an extraordinary formalization process for owners who say they were misinformed at sale.
- Field reports show continued use of ciclovías in corridors like Avenida Arequipa and operational gaps exist because some traffic units lack the ticketing formats or sustained patrols needed to impose fines and process impoundments.
