Seniors, children and pedestrians injured in accidents involving active mobility devices

Written Reply to Parliamentary Question

Ms Valerie Lee asked the Acting Minister for Transport of the 710 reported cases of accidents in 2023 to 2025 involving personal mobility devices (PMDs), power-assisted bicycles (PABs) and personal mobility aids (PMAs), how many involve (i) pedestrians, (ii) victims who were seniors aged 65 years and above, (iii) victims who were children aged 12 years and below and (iv) fatalities resulted from these incidents.

Reply by Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow:

1.           Of the approximately 590 on-road accidents from 2023 to 3Q 2025 involving PMDs, PABs and PMAs that resulted in injuries, 19 involved pedestrians, 181 involved seniors aged 65 and above, and 24 involved children aged 12 and below. These figures can be overlapping. Data at this level of granularity is not collected for the approximately 120 off-road accidents, which are generally less severe.

2.           In the same period, there were 10 reported fatal accidents involving PMDs, PABs and PMAs on the road, and none for off-road accidents.
