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.**
