Overview

• PAN deputy Federico Chávez Semerena plans to push for at least a five-month grace period after the law’s publication before licensing and plate requirements take effect for personal electric vehicles.
• He says the moratorium should underwrite an intensive public information campaign and shield users from transit officer extortion or arbitrary enforcement.
• Chávez Semerena also urged equipping security forces with technical tools to measure vehicle weight and speed accurately when assessing compliance.
• The reform classifies VEMEPE into type A (under 35 kg) and type B (35–350 kg), mandates helmets, visible plates and specific driver’s licenses, and prohibits faster units from using sidewalks or bike lanes.
• SEMOVI has up to 360 days after the Gaceta Oficial publication to set fees, procedures and plate-issuance rules, though Deputy Víctor Hugo Romo said key transit-rule updates could be ready within a month.
