Since the electric scooter became a public transportation, new laws on it have been increasing and becoming more and more strict in order to reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. As it turns out, there are indeed fewer vicious accidents about scooters in recent news. This time, the new law targets the manufacturers of electric scooters and makes mandatory regulations on new scooters sold from September 30, which means that the scooters we purchase after September 30 can meet the Italian national standards.
First, the new law defines electric scooters, and regards single motor, double-axle car without seats, and handlebars as electric scooters. And made requirements for the production technology of scooters. The new electric scooter must be equipped with the following functions: front brake rear brake sound signal (must be heard 30 meters away) turn signal headlights (must be fixed on the car, white or yellow) taillights with red lights red rear reflector yellow side reflector parking lights
Secondly, for those scooters that are already in the market, they must be equipped by January 1, 2023: Direction/steering lights Braking system on both axles
Of course, to install these, accessories that match the previous scooter model must be produced by the manufacturer first, and the requirements of the new regulations must be met. Although this regulation focuses on scooter manufacturers, netizens who want to buy scooters recently can wait and see and wait and wait until a new standard-compliant electric scooter is on the market before purchasing. However, netizens who already own electric scooters in the past should pay attention to remember to install standard-compliant kits in time.
After the new regulations, the electric scooter has become a seatless electric car. However, it is still very popular in Italy because of its relatively lightweight, compact and easy to park.
