ELECTRIC SCOOTER CAUGHT AT 135 KM/H IN TORREVIEJA

This week, **Torrevieja’s Local Police** launched a series of control operations focused on electric scooters throughout the municipality. Using a **dynamometer** (power test bench), officers are checking the **maximum speed** and **technical features** of each vehicle.

But yesterday, they were in for a **huge surprise** when they intercepted a **minor riding an e-scooter capable of reaching 135 km/h (83 mph)**. Yes — faster than many motorcycles.

### 😳 What happened next?

The surprise turned into a **legal storm** when they contacted the boy’s father, who — as the **legal guardian** — must now face **multiple fines** for the illegal vehicle.

## 💸 Fines issued:

* 🚫 **Unregistered motor vehicle**: 500 €

* 🛡️ **No insurance**: 1,250 €

* 🪖 **Improper helmet (used a bicycle helmet)**: 200 €

* 👮‍♂️ **Minor riding a powerful vehicle without a license**: could face **criminal charges** for lack of Class A driving permit

### ⚠️ Parental Warning

Parents, **always check** what your children are buying online.

You must **verify the specifications** (power, speed, legal status) before allowing use on public roads.

## 📱 Why does this happen?

We live in a time where **kids often know more than parents about online shopping**, and many buy high-performance vehicles without fully understanding the legal consequences.

## 🏖️ This family’s holiday is now ruined

All due to **one wrong decision**.

**Don’t let the same happen to you.**
