Show answer

Correct answer

  • BNo, están excluidos de esa categoríaNo, they are excluded from that category
Explanation

No. Under the current legal definition in the General Vehicle Regulations, a personal mobility vehicle (PMV) is a vehicle with one or more wheels and a single seat, driven only by electric motors (with a speed of between 6 and 25 km/h). However, the rules expressly exclude vehicles for people with reduced mobility from this definition. These have their own category and specific rules, and are legally different from e-scooters and similar vehicles.
