Mr Melvin Yong Yik Chye asked the Minister for Transport (a) how many electric motorcycles are currently registered to run on our roads; (b) whether the Ministry has any projections on the popularity of electric motorcycles for the next five years; and (c) whether there are any plans to spur the industry to install more electric motorcycle charging points to support the growth in this industry.

There are five electric motorcycles, or e-motorcycles, currently registered in Singapore. We expect this number to grow over time, as more e-motorcycle models are made available globally.

Unlike cars and light goods vehicles, the charging landscape for e-motorcycles remains nascent with a diverse variety of charging modes available. These include standardised charging connectors, proprietary charging connectors, or swappable batteries designed to be replaced upon being depleted. LTA has been engaging global and local e-motorcycle manufacturers to better understand these developing trends. Insights from these engagements, together with projected adoption trends and usage patterns, will guide us to develop a deployment strategy that balances safety with accessibility and affordability of e-motorcycle charging.
