Motorcycles and electric bikes are still sold without license plates

As of the day before the deadline set by the Government of Mexico City to implement new regulations under the Traffic Regulation for the first batch of Personal Electric Motor Vehicles (Vemepe), stores continue selling these vehicles without license plates. According to the Capital Mobility Secretary, no vehicle plates have been issued yet, and the City Security Secretariat has not planned any operations related to this issue. During a visit by EL UNIVERSAL to at least 10 Vemepe stores in the Historic Center of Mexico City, none of the visited stores were selling electric scooters or bicycles exceeding 25 km/h with plates, despite the requirement that they should have been provided since July 1st. Store employees explained that buyers must now handle the registration and licensing process themselves through the Semovi office. Vendors stated that stores provide necessary documentation and guidance for customers to complete the process online, after which they receive an appointment to collect their plates.
