Overview

• City leaders said registration and license issuance for qualifying micromobility vehicles could begin in December, contingent on federal authorization for plate codes.
• Reforms created the VEMEPE category, requiring plates and a driving license for units that exceed 25 km/h or fall within specified power and weight brackets, while pedal‑assist and slower models remain exempt.
• Although transitory provisions allow up to 360 days to finalize rules, officials are accelerating work to define procedures and sanctions, targeting completion by December.
• Semovi has validated more than 100 models and expanded collaboration to 19 companies, using speed, power bands of roughly 250 watts to 1 kilowatt, and weight to determine compliance.
• The push follows IMSS warnings about rising injuries, and some legislators are urging a multi‑month civic education period before strict enforcement to avoid arbitrary fines or extortion risks.
