85,000 e-scooters registered before deadline: LTA

Nearly 1,000 registrations were recorded on the last day.

Over 85,000 e-scooters have been registered in Singapore as the deadline closed, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said. According to a statement, close to 1,000 registrations were recorded on the last day of registration.

About 75% of registrants are between the ages of 21 to 50 years old and 21% are 51 years old and above. Less than 5% of those who have registered are aged 16 to 20 years old.

As at 30 June, only e-scooters that are compliant with LTA’s device criteria, including UL-2272 certification, can be registered. Registration can be done online via a website.

Moreover, LTA declared that it is now an offence to ride an unregistered e-scooter on public paths. “First-time offenders can be subject to a fine of up to $2,000 and/or imprisonment of up to three months,” it said.

It is also an offence to sell (and lease) non-UL2272 certified personal mobility devices (PMD) for use on public paths. First-time offenders can be subject to a fine of up to $5,000 and/or imprisonment of up to three months.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
