Helmets compulsory for cyclists

and e-scooter riders!

Since 01.01.2025 – Helmet compulsory in Spain

New helmet requirements in Spain …

… since 01.01.2025!

Until now, wearing a bicycle helmet in Spain was only compulsory outside built-up areas. Since 01.01.2025, wearing a bicycle helmet has also been mandatory for all cyclists in built-up areas.
The same applies to e-scooter riders. New rules also apply to car drivers in this regard …
… I recommend everyone to inform themselves thoroughly, because there are penalties of €200 to €1,000!
