Lim Wee Kiak

Dr Lim Wee Kiak asked the Minister for Education (Schools) (a) what is the current demand for bicycle parking in schools; (b) whether students are allowed to ride e-bikes to school; and (c) what is the take-up rate of the Safe Riding Programme in schools since its inception.

Ng Chee Meng

The Ministry of Education (MOE) does not actively monitor the demand for bicycle parking in schools. From schools' observations, the demand is generally low. While schools do not prohibit students' use of e-bikes, students are generally advised not to bring expensive items to school. In addition, for all riders and pillion riders of e-bikes, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) stipulates a minimum age of 16 years.

LTA's Safe Riding Programme will be launched at the end of this year. MOE will work with LTA to offer the programme to students in secondary schools who are able to ride a bicycle.
