Electric scooter owners in Spain must obtain insurance and register their vehicles with the DGT by January 2, 2026, or face a 1,000 euro fine. This new regulation, part of a reformed automobile insurance law, applies to all personal mobility vehicles (VMPs) and aims to unify safety and responsibility standards, treating them similarly to mopeds. The changes come amid rising accidents involving electric scooters, with over five million estimated to be in circulation across Spain.
