The measure of compulsory insurance for electric skateboards has been postponed due to the ineffectiveness of registration
The registration, scheduled for 2 January, is not yet operational, which delays the compulsory insurance for personal mobility vehicles.
The fines range from 200 to 1,000 euros for uninsured electric skateboards.
The Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) has postponedthe obligation ofthe electric scootern insurance, which was due to enter into force on 2 January, due to thefact that it is not yet operational.
This compulsory insurance is intended to increase safety and responsibility in the use of electric skateboards and other personal mobility vehicles.
According to the latest official information, the insurance obligation may not be required until the registration is regulated. However, the regulations stipulate that skateboards exceeding25 kilogramsof or exceedingthe speed of 14 km/h must be insured before 26 January, without the need to register.
The decision has raised concerns among groups advocating greater regulation of the use of skateboards. Mario Arnaldo, President of the European Associate Motorists, has advocated amending the Auto Insurance Act to include VMPs under the same rules.
It should be remembered that there will be fines of between EUR 200 and EUR 1,000 for uninsured vehicles, including electric skateboards.
