Electric Scooter Rules and Regulations in Barcelona

Since e-scooters have become such a popular form of transportation in Barcelona, the city council has categorized the mode as a type A vehicle. This new decision has placed new regulations upon scooters. Most tourists who come to visit are unaware of these new set rules, and therefore, I want to educate anyone coming to Barcelona and renting e-scooters.   Due to previous problems related to electric scooters, citizens must now comply with Spain’s updated e-scooter national traffic authority (DGT) laws. Residents have been instructed to follow these new regulations to bring safety and structure to the streets.  Working at LYNX for over a month now, I can confidently say that when my co-workers and I notify visitors of these rules,...

Why Should You Rent an Electric Scooter at LYNX Barcelona

Once in Barcelona, foreign visitors have multiple channels to get around in, but by far, my most favorite is the electric scooter.

Tourists struggle to rent mopeds because they require an international license; thus, bikes and scooters are the best options for exploring the beautiful city.   Speaking from experience myself as a new native to...
