Sure, we’ve all heard about how helpful or dangerous personal mobility devices (PMDs) are. But have you ever heard of PMD races?
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) certainly has, and (metaphorically) crashed a race to seize illegal PMDs.
PMD Gathering at Yishun Dam
Seriously, why is it always Yishun?
On the night of 28 May, the LTA conducted an operation at Yishun Dam, where there was a PMD gathering.
Or, more specifically, PMDs that were modified, non-compliant with regulations, and unregistered.
These PMD gatherings were known to race in the area before and were endangering themselves and other road users.
Seized 5 Illegal PMDs
LTA’s Active Mobility Enforcement Officers seized four non-compliant PMDs, and one non-compliant Power-Assisted Bicycle (PAB). Three of these devices were unregistered, while the other two had false or handwritten number plates.
The group was also caught riding their PMDs on roads and footpaths, which isn’t allowed. PMDs can only be used on cycling paths and park connectors, while PABs can only be used on roads, cycling paths, and park connectors.

Gentle Reminders from LTA
PMD and PAB users should ensure that their devices are registered, and follow the device requirements.
This includes having the necessary certifications to address fire risks and improve safety. After all, nobody wants another PMD-charging-induced fire to break out.
If your device doesn’t comply with regulations and is caught being used on public paths and roads, it will be seized by LTA officers.
