YOU ARE HEREBY REMINDED THAT MODIFICATIONS TO THE ENGINE OR THE POWER OF THE SCOOTER ARE
FORBIDDEN BY LAW.
ANY CHANGES FOR THE PURPOSE OF RAISING THE TOP SPEED OF THE VEHICLE OR BOOSTING THE POWER
OF THE ENGINE WOULD LEAD TO THE SCOOTER BEING
CLASSED AS A SCOOTER.
THIS WOULD REQUIRE THE OWNER:
•
TO OBTAIN A NEW TYPE APPROVAL
•
TO OBTAIN A SCOOTER REGISTRATION LICENSE
•
TO HOLD A DRIVING LICENSE
IN ADDITION, SUCH CHANGES WOULD LEAD TO THE INVALIDATION OF TIE INSURANCE COVER, SINCE
INSURANCE POLICIES EXPLICITLY FORBID TECHNICAL CHANGES WHICH HAVE THE PURPOSE OF BOOSTING
THE PERFORMANCE.
FOR THE REASONS SET OUT ABOVE, A BREACH OF THE PROHIBITION TO TAMPER WITH THE ENGINE IS
PUNISHED BY LAW BY APPROPRIATE FINES INCLUDING THE CONFISCATION OF THE VEHICLE.
FINES ARE ALSO INFLICTED, ACCORDING TO CIRCUMSTANCES, FOR DRIVING WITHOUT A HELMET AND A
LICENSE PLATE, AS WELL AS FOR TAX EVASION (OMITTING TO PAY OWNERSHIP TAX).
DRIVING WITHOUT A DRIVING LICENSE IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
