Important changes affecting electric scooter users in Hungary
Nowadays, electric scooters enjoy enormous popularity. People like them for a set of reasons, they are easy to carry around and they are relatively fast. However, changes will affect electric scooter enthusiasts in Hungary. The range of vehicles that must be covered by compulsory vehicle insurance will be extended from 16 July.
Compulsory insurance for electric scooters
As Telex has reported, the Association of Hungarian Insurance Companies (MABISZ) highlighted today that according to the latest regulations announced on the 30th of April, certain micro-mobility devices, including certain electric scooters, will be covered by compulsory vehicle insurance.
How does it affect you?
Each operator must verify their vehicle’s net mass and design speed. Insurers have until 8 June to establish tariffs for micro-mobility equipment, a new provision. Currently, estimating premiums for compulsory motor liability insurance for these vehicles is not feasible.
Under the Compulsory Motor Insurance Act, an unregistered vehicle, lacking a registration number, is deemed the responsibility of the operator. Therefore, it’s crucial to confirm if the vehicle requires compulsory motor insurance coverage before use.
