Since they began to appear in cities, electric scooters have become increasingly important as a means of personal transportation. At the moment, the rules may vary from one location to another, but it is not mandatory to wear a helmet and you do not need any special requirements such as liability insurance or third party damage insurance. This situation could change soon, since DGT, UCO and several municipalities are asking for its use to be regularized.
These requests do not come from Spain only, in Europe some countries such as France have already imposed this type of laws in favor of safer driving. Right now to drive an electric scooter you do not need a minimum age or any kind of permit. However, this does not mean that it is not a dangerous means of transport if misused.. Years ago, the first deaths due to traffic accidents and run over began to be reported.
An electric scooter is somewhat ambiguous, since there are many models on the market, there are even those that can transport two people at the same time. These scooters can reach 70 kilometers per hour, a considerable speed if a crash occurs without any protection. Waiting for the state to finally regularize its use.
