Advisory to Owners of E-scooters Which Do Not Conform to LTA's Regulations

Mr Muhamad Faisal Bin Abdul Manap asked the Minister for Transport (a) whether there is any advisory on what should be done by the owner of an e-scooter that does not conform to LTA's regulations, such as its method of disposal; and (b) if there is no such advisory, whether LTA will consider to produce such an advisory.

All personal mobility devices (PMDs), including e-scooters, that are used on public paths cannot exceed 20 kilogrammes in maximum unladen weight, 700 millimetres in maximum width and 25 kilometres per hour in maximum device speed.

Persons with non-compliant devices may wish to approach retailers to check if these devices can be modified to become compliant or traded in for compliant devices. Persons who wish to recycle their devices may contact e-waste or metal recyclers for assistance. A list of recyclers can be found on the National Environment Agency's (NEA's) website at www.nea.gov.sg/our-services/waste-management/3r-programmes-and-resources/collectors-traders-and-local-recycling-facilities.
