If you didn’t see our last update and you use an e-scooter. Please update yourself with the latest updates in Mallorca.
The rules around electric scooters have changed significantly over the last few weeks.
Registration and compulsory insurance requirements are already in force, and further national changes will begin on 1 October 2026, including a minimum riding age of 15 and mandatory helmet use.
This means that you will need to ensure you have the following in place if you own an e-scooter in Mallorca.
Aged 15 or over.
Have public liability insurance for each rider.
Wear a helmet at all times.
Wear a high vis vest.
Have your e-scooter registered with DGT.
Display your registration certificate on your e-scooter.
Ensure you ride only in correct and authorised locations. Not public pavements.
Older e-scooters are not automatically excluded, but they must still be registered and insured. Many uncertified models will only be permitted to circulate until 22 January 2027.
It is also important to remember that individual town halls can introduce additional rules covering where e-scooters can be used and parked.
