Overview

• Local Police report 408 fines so far this year under Lorca’s 2023 e‑scooter ordinance, compared with 619 sanctions in 2024.
• Officers have run 740 traffic‑control campaigns in 2025 after carrying out 833 such operations last year.
• Security councillor Juan Miguel Bayonas says the figures reflect special attention and continuous surveillance to protect users and pedestrians.
• Bayonas has asked the central government to approve legislation enabling fines for failing to wear a helmet, which the local ordinance contemplates but cannot currently sanction.
• The ordinance sets a 15‑year minimum age, a 25 km/h speed cap, single‑rider use, and a torso reflector, and it bans riding on sidewalks, pedestrian streets, interurban roads, motorways, tunnels, and multi‑lane roads without a bike lane; PSOE councillor José Luis Ruiz accuses the government of lax enforcement.
