Electric Skateboards in Italy
2026 Regulations

In Italy, the regulations for electric skateboards are still unclear. Here's what we know and our advice for riding safely.

🟡 Unclear law / no specific framework
🏎️ Top speed: 20 km/h
🛡️ Insurance: Mandatory
⛑️ Helmet: Mandatory
👤 Minimum age: Not specified
💡 Lighting: Mandatory
💸 Max fine: Variable

🧭 Official Status

In Italy, electric skateboards do not yet have an official legal framework.
The law now regulates electric scooters, and e-skates are expected to follow suit soon.
In the meantime, they operate in a gray area close to regularization.

⚙️ Legal Requirements

  • Maximum speed: 20 km/h (and 6 km/h in pedestrian areas).

  • Mandatory equipment: brakes, front/rear lights, turn signals, horn, and reflective elements.

  • Helmet mandatory for all users.

  • Do not transport passengers, animals, or bulky objects.

  • From July 2025:
    → license plate,
    → mandatory insurance,
    → compliance with new technical standards.

  • Fines from 100 to €400 for non-compliance.

📋 What About E-Skates?

❌ Not mentioned in the law → therefore neither authorized nor clearly prohibited.
However, all signs indicate that the same requirements as electric scooters (license plate, helmet, insurance, top speed) could soon apply.
Until then, riding on public roads remains legally risky and depends on local tolerance.

📋 📌 Rider Tips

  • Ride at a moderate speed and avoid high-traffic areas.

  • Helmet and lights are mandatory if you want to remain visible and credible.

  • No passengers, no cargo.

  • Prefer bike paths or private spaces.

  • Be discreet: rule enforcement varies greatly by city.

L'essentiel

Italy is in regulatory transition: scooters are regulated, and e-skates will follow soon.
For now, it's a gray area: it's best to ride cautiously, well-equipped, and respecting speed limits to avoid penalties.

🛹 What Evo-Spirit Offers
