As I’m sure most of you already know, next January 22, 2024 The DGT will regulate the requirements for moving around with an electric scooter in Spain, one of which is that everyone will be required to do so. have a certificate Provided by the manufacturer, ensuring that all standards are met.

This new regulation Directly affects any vehicle considered VMP (personal mobility vehicle), so our Xiaomi electric scooters will have to comply with this if we want to roam with them, but fortunately, we have some margin before this law affects us if we have a scooter.

These are the requirements every VMP must meet starting next January 22

The first thing you need to know is that although these regulations will go into effect from January 22, 2024, for now they will only affect VMPs sold after that date. Rest of previous models They will be able to be in circulation by 2027, as they have been until now. and when that date comes it will be illegal to go with them.

Having clarified that, we leave you below What requirements must VMPs meet? Here’s what we’ve had for a while now, as well as what will be available from January 22:

• Factory marking plate: The vehicle must have a license plate The ID is posted in a visible place. It must indicate the vehicle’s serial number, make, model, certification year, maximum speed it can reach and certification number.
• File It has all the technical features of the vehicle.
• Identification: Document provided by the manufacturer stating that the vehicle belongs to the VMP category.

As you can see, after the manufacturer sells the product to us, all these conditions must be met, we will not have any problems in that regard. However, thanks to our colleagues at Xataka, we learned that if our scooter was purchased before this date, The BOE specifies how the certification process may be conducted. a VMP:

“The extraordinary certification process of a non-certified VMP can be requested by the owner through an authorized laboratory, providing the VMP vehicle and the technical information it has about it, if possible a reduced specification sheet and user manual. “We intend to carry out the relevant tests.”
