Police say e-scooter rider was caught at 150 km/h three times in one day
Police in Castelldefels, Spain, recorded an e-scooter rider at 150 km/h three times in one day.
That speed is far above Spain’s 25 km/h limit for these scooters and three times the 50 km/h car speed limit on the road.
Police called the riding extremely dangerous, warning that even a small obstacle could cause a serious crash.
A fall at that speed could badly injure the rider, while pedestrians and other road users could also be in danger.
Spanish rules limit these scooters to 25 km/h and require users to wear a helmet and have insurance.
