Overview
- The BOE published Royal Decree 52/2026, establishing the DGT’s national registry for personal mobility vehicles and enabling practical enforcement of the insurance mandate.
- Registration is primarily online via the DGT electronic office, with support on 060, and results in a digital certificate and an identification label to affix to the vehicle.
- Certified models carry factory markings per the Manual of Characteristics, while non‑certified scooters may register and be insured on a transitional basis only until 22 January 2027.
- Local measures are intensifying, with Gandia controlling helmet use and an under‑15 ban on riders, and Marín launching an initial information campaign that will be followed by fines.
- Penalties range from €202–€610 for lacking insurance and €250–€800 for riding without it, agents may immobilize vehicles, and VMPs are prohibited on sidewalks, pedestrian areas and specified roads.
