Electric scooters, electric bicycles, and similar vehicles are now required to carry mandatory third-party liability insurance (RCA), under a new law that entered into force on Saturday, December 13. The legislation transposes EU Directive 2021/2118 into national law and revises the definition of vehicles subject to compulsory insurance, shifting the focus from registration status to technical criteria, according to Mediafax.
Vehicles covered by the new rules
Under the new framework, vehicles must be insured based on specific performance thresholds.

This clarification brings higher-performance electric scooters and certain electric bicycles into the RCA system.
