Man is filmed to walk more than 80km/h in an electrical in the Algarve [vídeo]

A man was caught circulating in an electrical trottense to over 80 km/h in the Algarve, a speed far above the one allowed by law. This case raises concerns about road safety and compliance with the rules established for this means of transport.

According to Portuguese legislation, electrical troties are considered speeds if certain requirements are met. To legally circulate on the public road, they cannot exceed 250W of power and must have a top speed of 25 km/h. If these limits are exceeded, the vehicle can be classified as a moped, which implies additional requirements such as registration, insurance and driving license.

Trotinys should circulate in bike lanes or, in their absence, on the lanes, but always respecting traffic rules and the safety of pawns. It is not allowed to conduct them on the rides, except if they are carried by hand. In addition, respect for traffic lights, traffic signs and priority rules are mandatory, such as any other vehicle.

Regarding safety, it is recommended to use helmet, although it is not mandatory for older users. However, in some cities, such as Lisbon, there are specific rules that may require the use of helmet in shared troties.

The inspection of these infractions has been increasing, especially in urban areas where the use of electric troties is more frequent. Driving at excessive speeds puts at risk not only the driver but also pawns and other vehicles.

Cases like this, in which an individual was captured to ride an electricity at more than 80km/h in the Algarve, demonstrate the need to sensitize users to comply with the standards, ensuring that this sustainable means of transport continues to be safe and efficient in the cities.
