AMDifficulty 1/5

You are an adult and your parents authorise you to carry your eight-year-old brother on a moped approved for a passenger. May you do so while meeting the safety requirements?

Correct answer

Yes, with that authorisation and the other requirements met.

Yes: the exception permits passengers over seven when the rider is a parent, guardian or an adult authorised by them. The child must sit behind the rider in the designated seat, astride with feet on the footrests and wearing a protective helmet meeting applicable requirements. The licence and vehicle must permit that transport. For mopeds, the transitional provision of Royal Decree 518/2026 retains use of certified helmets under the transitional regime for one year from 1 October 2026. Authorisation alone is insufficient if the rider is not an adult.
