Porto Santo Council is planning to introduce restrictions on scooter rentals starting in 2027.
The decision follows reports from the newspaper DIÁRIO, which indicate that accidents involving these vehicles accounted for a significant portion of medical evacuations on the island.
According to the available information, between 60% and 70% of medical evacuations were linked to scooter accidents. However, details regarding the period covered by these figures and how the proposed rental restrictions will operate have not yet been specified.
