A 16-year-old was detained in Lisbon after police stopped him driving an electric motorbike without the required licence. Public Security Police (PSP) officers from the 14th Squadron, Marvila, intercepted the electric motorcycle on Saturday afternoon in the Marvila area in order to carry out checks. During questioning, the teenager said the vehicle did not need a driving licence. He was arrested after officers analysed the vehicle’s technical data and concluded it did not meet the requirements to be treated like a licence-free velocipede under Article 112 of the Road Code. PSP said the motorcycle had 7000 watts of power and a maximum speed of 100 km/h, characteristics that meant it should not benefit from a licence exemption or the associated requirements. After procedural steps, the teenager was released to appear at the Local Criminal Court of Lisbon, Small Offences Section, at the Justice Campus. PSP has not reported any charge details beyond the detention tied to driving a motorcycle-class vehicle without the necessary legal authorisation.
