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 mandatory outside built-up areas.

Since 01.01.2025 , the wearing of a bicycle helmet has been mandatory for all cyclists, even in built-up areas.
The same applies to e-scooter riders.

New rules also apply to motorists in this regard …
… I recommend everyone to inform themselves thoroughly, because there are penalties of 200,- to 1,000,-€ !
