The electric scooters belonging to the group of Personal Mobility Vehicles (as well as electric bicycles, hoverboard and segway) have arrived in Vigo from the hand of the Madrid company Buny that have made a provision of any user who wants to download their application to activate them.

With it you can rent and move freely around the city. However, months after finishing the bike lane, they mix with the walkers who, in the absence of turn signals and turning each one towards their destination, can be rammed by these stealthy vehicles,

Their regulation is expected to arrive soon before more accidents occur. This has been done by other cities such as Seville in which on October 14 has published in the BOP the regulations that prohibit unicycles, segway, hoverboard and electric scooters on public roads with fines ranging from € 50 to € 400 if they circulate on the sidewalk having to do it on the bike path.

Another example is Valencia in which it is already regulated since June 8 of this year 2019 and indicates preferred places where they have to circulate and speed that they must follow in each of them from 20km. 10 km. and classifying personal mobility vehicles (VMP) not allowing in any case to travel on the sidewalks.

The DGT will prohibit the transit and parking on the sidewalk for it has prepared a reform of the standard that is expected to approve soon.

patinetes

information

Los patinetes eléctricos pertenecientes al grupo de Vehículos de Movilidad Personal  (al igual que bicicletas eléctricas, hoverboard y segway )han llegado a Vigo de la mano de la empresa madrileña Buny  que los ha puesto a disposición de cualquier usuario que quiera descargando su app para activarlos .

Con ella se pueden alquilar y mover libremente por la ciudad. Sin embargo a meses de terminar el carril bici se mezclan con los paseantes que a falta de intermitentes y girando cada cual hacia su destino pueden ser embestidos por estos sigilosos vehículos ,

La regulación de ellos se espera que llegue pronto antes de que ocurran más accidentes. Así lo han hecho otras ciudades como  Sevilla en que  el dia 14 de Octubre ha publicado en el BOP  la normativa que prohíbe los monociclos, segway, hoverboard y patinetes electricos en vía pública con multas que van de 50 a 400 € si circulan por la acera habiendo de hacerlo por el carril bici.

Otro ejemplo es Valencia en que ya esta regulados desde el 8 de Junio de este año 2019 e indica lugares preferentes por donde han de circular y velocidad que han de seguir en cada uno de ellos desde 20km. a 10 km. y clasificando los vehículos de movilidad personal ( VMP) no permitiendo en ningún caso que transiten por las aceras.

La DGT prohibira que transiten y aparquen en la acera para ello ha preparado una reforma de la norma que se espera aprueben en breve.
