A few days ago we explained how the new traffic regulations affect our circulation. The Council of Ministers issued a series of reforms that affect not only traditional vehicles (motorcycles, cars and trucks), but also electric scooters. As of January 2021, they will be considered Personal Mobility Vehicles , which will force them to follow a series of guidelines. Even with these changes on the way, electric scooters will continue to be an ideal alternative for commuting to work or on errands around town . If you are thinking of getting one of them, or having it brought by the Magi, you should take into account some aspects such as its practicality, weight, power or autonomy, among others. The most important thing is to know what its function will be and, based on that, choose what type of vehicle best suits our needs. For this reason, we bring you a series of tips when buying your first electric scooter .
Until now, the circulation of these vehicles had been free of regulation and they began to be a problem for coexistence in large cities. With this new name they will be required to have a certificate of circulation and will not be able to exceed 25 km / h . In addition, they will have to use the bike lanes and will no longer be able to circulate on sidewalks, pedestrian areas and interurban roads . If we think about it coldly, and we are aware of the growth of this type of mobility, it is logical that it requires guidelines. The sale of scooters increased by 1,021% between January 2019 and the same month of 2020, an increase that is noticeable as soon as you go out on the street.
However, it is still a fairly novel product and the doubts are there. Its success is based on a very attractive commercial offer, with contained prices, and a really simple use . They can be charged at home and, being so small, finding a space for them is not an ordeal, as it is for an electric motorcycle or a car. In addition, balance is trained and its handling is a child’s thing. If we have already convinced you, now we help you find the right model for you.
