In late October 2026, Savoie made helmets and retro-reflective equipment mandatory for electric scooters from November 1. Morbihan then conducted an educational check after a prefectural decree, while Toulon imposed helmets, gloves and yellow vests and banned these devices in pedestrian zones in the city center. In late October, Essonne, Ille-et-Vilaine, Territoire de Belfort and several municipalities, including Nouzonville and a Normandy town, adopted similar obligations, sometimes under penalty of a fine. In Nîmes, after three months of prevention, municipal police fined twenty-four users in one hour, mainly for not wearing a helmet. In Lyon, the helmet and vest requirement came into effect on November 1, 2026.
