SINGAPORE – You can now cycle or scoot on the pavements without worry, after the government accepted recommendations from an expert panel’s recommendations on active mobility.

Responding to concerns by Members of Parliament about the panel’s recommendation to allow illegally modified power-assisted bicycles, or e-bikes, on cycling paths and shared paths within speed limits, Mrs Josephine Teo said these e-bikes have to be registered.
