Mopeds and self-propelled vehicles: see what changes in the traffic rules in Rio

The Rio de Janeiro city government published adjustments to municipal decree 57.823, which regulates the circulation of electric vehicles in the city. The changes come after a fatal accident that killed a mother and her 9-year-old son when they were hit by a bus while riding an electric bicycle. Among the changes, motorized bicycles and self-propelled vehicles are no longer treated as equivalent, and operators of self-propelled vehicles will no longer need license plates or a driver's license, after Contran clarified that these vehicles are not listed in the Renavam. Self-propelled vehicles are also once again allowed to circulate in bike lanes.
