Mexico City users register electric scooters and bikes

Residents of Mexico City are actively participating in the registration process for electric scooters and personal motorized electric vehicles (Vemepe). The Secretariat of Mobility (Semovi) launched the initiative on July 1st, with users flocking to mobile units like the one in Tláhuac to complete the necessary paperwork.

The registration process begins online through the City's Vehicle Procedures System. Users upload their documentation, after which Semovi classifies the request into two categories. Type A applies to personal electric vehicles (VEP) that receive a complimentary 'Distintivo de Movilidad Eléctrica' (DME). Type B is for personal motorized electric vehicles (Vemepe), which require license plates and associated fees.

Once the documentation is validated, the system generates a payment code for applicable fees. Following payment, users can schedule an appointment at a vehicle control module. At the module, they receive their new license plates, circulation card, and the corresponding electric mobility distinction or plates.

One user at the Tláhuac mobile unit expressed initial uncertainty about the procedure but received guidance to submit the required documents. The process aims to formalize the registration of these increasingly popular personal electric transportation devices within the city's regulatory framework.

I came because I wasn't very sure how the process was done, and here they guided me to submit the papers, in the end, they didn't give me anything, but okay.
