Compulsory third-party liability insurance for electric mobility scooters

Questioner

Is third-party insurance mandatory for an electric shopper for disabled people? Max speed 6 km per hour. No lights or indicators.

Questioner

Dear questioner, Third-party liability insurance is mandatory for motor vehicles. The law defines a motor vehicle not only as a car or motorcycle, but as all vehicles "propelled by mechanical or electrical power." As far as I can tell, if you drive your electric shopper on the road, you are required to have insurance. Therefore, I recommend contacting an insurer.
