Owners of electric scooters are waiting for changes that probably won't please them at all. For selected stronger types of this means of transport, it will be necessary to establish compulsory insurance, with the fact that state license plates or, if you prefer, license plates are also in play for this. 

The novelty will apply from January next year, with the fact that it is mandated by the new motor directive of the European Parliament and the Council 2021/2118.  All owners of electric scooters that can exceed a speed of 25 km/h, or weigh more than 25 kg and can travel more than 14 km/h, will have to take out compulsory insurance. These electric scooters are already capable ofchat considerable damage, and so far without any major compensation for the other party. Their specifications almost match the weakest motorcycles, for which compulsory insurance is required. 

Of course, we can only guess at the moment how much insurance companies charge for electric scooters. However, it can be assumed that the public will learn more detailed information from the relevant authorities soon, because there is not so much time separating us from 2024 and it is therefore logically necessary for a novelty that will affect a lot of people, because 25 km/h is not that high limit, as well as weight-speed restrictions, prepare.
