The Cornellà City Council announced the acquisition of a certified portable dynamometer. This tool allows officers to accurately assess if electric scooters have been illegally modified to exceed the legal limit of 25 kilometers per hour, providing objective data for legal proceedings.
During 2025, local authorities issued 935 fines to scooter users, an increase of 169 compared to the previous year. Common violations in this Baix Llobregat city include riding on sidewalks, using mobile phones, and carrying more than one person on a single vehicle.
“"The main objective is to guarantee safe coexistence, prevent risky behavior, and promote responsible use of these vehicles."
Fines for technical non-compliance can reach 500 euros and may result in the immediate impounding of the vehicle. Officers are currently undergoing training to use the new equipment during daily patrols and specific road safety checkpoints.
