Mandatory Registration of Scooters: Impacts and Proposals for Road Safety
October 11, 2026
The use of electric scooters in Cyprus has led to serious injuries and fatalities, highlighted by the recent death of a 16-year-old. The Minister of Transport, Evie Tsolaki, suggests mandatory registration of scooters if new measures fail. The current legislation is poorly enforced, and police face challenges in monitoring. The regulation would allow for the identification of owners and compliance checks with technical standards. Finally, mandatory registration could facilitate insurance coverage for scooters.
