What happens if I ride without insurance from January 22, 2026?
Urban mobility in Spain is reaching a turning point. With the approval of Law 5/2025, electric scooters and other Personal Light Vehicles (PLVs) are entering, for the first time, a legal framework as regulated as that of cars and motorcycles.
From 22 January 2026, mandatory insurance for electric scooters will come into force, together with new identification, registration and certification requirements. If you use a scooter for your daily journeys, this directly affects you.
