Written Reply by Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan to Parliamentary Question on Active Mobility Enforcement Statistics

Mr Ang Wei Neng asked the Minister for Transport whether he can provide an update on the registration of e-bicycles, e-scooters and other power-assisted personal mobility devices in terms of 

     i.   the number registered; 

     ii.  the number of violations; and

     iii. the number of offenders charged. 

Reply by Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan:

1.     About 13,300 power-assisted bicycles (PABs) have been registered so far.  The registration regime for PABs commenced in August 2017. 

2.     We will implement a registration regime for e-scooters early next year. Other types of personal mobility devices (PMDs), such as hoverboards and unicycles, will not be subjected to the registration regime as their usage is less widespread and their speeds are lower when used.  

3.     Since the start of the year, there were about 650 offences involving PABs including the use of non-compliant PABs. 

4.     After the Active Mobility Act commenced on 1 May 2018, which provided for enforcement powers, there were over 700 offences involving PMDs, including the use of non-compliant PMDs and speeding offences. LTA does not have records on the number of offenders charged.
