Set up in 2015, the Active Mobility Advisory Panel (AMAP) guides the safe use of active mobility devices, which include bicycles, power-assisted bicycles (PABs), personal mobility devices (PMDs)
and personal mobility aids (PMAs) by reviewing regulations and making recommendations on keeping roads and paths safe for all users.
The panel plays an active role in engaging various stakeholders in studying ways to improve the active mobility landscape, and to involve the community as a key partner in this journey. Over the years, AMAP has played a key role in the formulation of the
Active Mobility Act, which stipulates device requirements and usage rules for active mobility devices.
Other key recommendations that the AMAP put forth are on-road safety requirements, speed limits for active mobility devices on paths, mandatory third-party liability insurance for businesses, and minimum brake requirements for bicycles. In February 2023, AMAP released recommendations pertaining to the regulation of cargo bicycles, cargo tricycles, rider-only tricycles and recumbents on paths and roads. The government has since accepted the recommendations, and the regulations will be implemented on 1 March 2024.
