New Traffic Rules in Mallorca: Do They Protect Us — or Create More Confusion?

Answer

What are the main enforcement challenges for e-scooter rules in Mallorca?

Tourists often rent e-scooters without formal age verification, which makes enforcement difficult. Random checks by the Guardia Civil may not be enough, so practical steps like identity checks at rental, helmets visibly attached to the vehicle, and a briefing video are suggested, along with a three-month warning phase.
