E-scooters are only allowed to drive on public roads if they have a valid compulsory insurance sticker. This can be obtained through the usual car insurance companies.
The insurance sticker is valid for 12 months and costs an average of around 30 euros per year. This insures e-scooter riders against damage they cause to third parties.
Anyone who cannot provide proof of such liability insurance is committing an administrative offence and may face criminal proceedings.
