Singapore announced on Monday it was banning all electric scooters from footpaths, following a rise in the number of accidents involving the devices.
The ban, which begins from Tuesday, will confine riders to 440km of cycling paths, down from the 5,500km of footpaths they could use previously.
Transport experts welcomed the move, saying the government had run out of patience with the problems caused by the scooters, often referred to as personal mobility devices (PMDs). But some retailers said they could go bust and urged the government to reconsider.

Singapore bans e-scooters from sidewalks after injury spike
Singapore banned electric scooters from footpaths after a string of injuries from collisions with pedestrians.
Starting Tuesday, the city-state’s government will fine riders on footpaths as much as S$2,000 (US$1,474) or jail them for three months, or both, Senior Minister of State for Transport Lam Pin Min said Monday.
Electric scooters have become a popular option in a city-state that’s one of the most expensive places in the world to own a car. With the cost of a Toyota Prius topping US$100,000, demand for a battery-powered, two-wheeled alternative has soared among delivery companies and commuters.

Singapore to ban e-scooters from sidewalks amid rising injuries
Violaters will be fined up to S$2,000 (or about US$1,475) and/or jailed for three months, said Lam Pin Min, the senior minister of state for transport. However, the city-state will provide an advisory period that will last until the end of this year before the new rule is more firmly laid out.
By the end Q1 2020, after authorities pass amendments to the Active Mobility Act in Parliament, other personal mobility devices such as unicycles and hoverboards will also be banned on footpaths.
According to the senior minister, authorities catch an average of around 370 offenders a month. There were also many reported accidents, injuries, and deaths involving e-scooters.

E-scooters banned from Singapore footpaths from 5 November
Amid a rise in the number of accidents involving e-scooters and pedestrians, and stronger calls from the public for the ban of such devices on shared spaces, the government will ban their use on footpaths effective from Tuesday (5 November).
The move comes one-and-a-half years after the Active Mobility Act fully kicked in, allowing the use of e-scooters on footpaths, which are typically just 1.5m wide.
Announcing the turnaround in Parliament on Monday (4 November), Senior Minister of State for Transport Lam Pin Min said, “As more accidents occur, the calls for a total ban on PMD (personal mobility device) usage gets louder.”

Singaporeans enraged over the new ban on e-scooters from footpaths are expressing their anger through all sorts of means – from angry rants targeting responsible officials to videos and memes suggesting ways to skirt the law.
Leading the charge against the ban announced yesterday that’s sure to hurt food couriers, Kelvin Ho lashed out on behalf of his fellow deliverymen in a 10-minute diatribe against Senior Minister of State for Transport Lam Pin Min.
“You are destroying all the PMD food delivery riders, you know or not? Footpaths cannot ride ah? At first, you emphasized [that] PMD is a fire hazard [and that] all must change to UL-2272,” he says in slang-choked Singlish. “Okay, you know, many owners got the UL2272 [certified e-scooters] just because of you, LTA people … Now, you say footpaths cannot ride? Wah! Must push ah?”

Singapore bans electric scooters from footpaths after spate of accidents
Singapore announced on Monday it was banning all electric scooters from footpaths, following a rise in the number of accidents involving the devices.
The ban, which begins from Tuesday, will confine riders to 440km of cycling paths, down from the 5,500km of footpaths they could use previously.
Transport experts welcomed the move, saying the government had run out of patience with the problems caused by the scooters, often referred to as personal mobility devices (PMDs). But some retailers said they could go bust and urged the government to reconsider.

Singapore bans e-scooters from sidewalks after injury spike
Singapore banned electric scooters from footpaths after a string of injuries from collisions with pedestrians.
Starting Tuesday, the city-state’s government will fine riders on footpaths as much as S$2,000 (US$1,474) or jail them for three months, or both, Senior Minister of State for Transport Lam Pin Min said Monday.
Electric scooters have become a popular option in a city-state that’s one of the most expensive places in the world to own a car. With the cost of a Toyota Prius topping US$100,000, demand for a battery-powered, two-wheeled alternative has soared among delivery companies and commuters.

Singapore to ban e-scooters from sidewalks amid rising injuries
Violaters will be fined up to S$2,000 (or about US$1,475) and/or jailed for three months, said Lam Pin Min, the senior minister of state for transport. However, the city-state will provide an advisory period that will last until the end of this year before the new rule is more firmly laid out.
By the end Q1 2020, after authorities pass amendments to the Active Mobility Act in Parliament, other personal mobility devices such as unicycles and hoverboards will also be banned on footpaths.
According to the senior minister, authorities catch an average of around 370 offenders a month. There were also many reported accidents, injuries, and deaths involving e-scooters.

E-scooters banned from Singapore footpaths from 5 November
Amid a rise in the number of accidents involving e-scooters and pedestrians, and stronger calls from the public for the ban of such devices on shared spaces, the government will ban their use on footpaths effective from Tuesday (5 November).
The move comes one-and-a-half years after the Active Mobility Act fully kicked in, allowing the use of e-scooters on footpaths, which are typically just 1.5m wide.
Announcing the turnaround in Parliament on Monday (4 November), Senior Minister of State for Transport Lam Pin Min said, “As more accidents occur, the calls for a total ban on PMD (personal mobility device) usage gets louder.”

‘You are the hazard!’: Singapore’s e-scooter riders lash out at ban
Singaporeans enraged over the new ban on e-scooters from footpaths are expressing their anger through all sorts of means – from angry rants targeting responsible officials to videos and memes suggesting ways to skirt the law.
Leading the charge against the ban announced yesterday that’s sure to hurt food couriers, Kelvin Ho lashed out on behalf of his fellow deliverymen in a 10-minute diatribe against Senior Minister of State for Transport Lam Pin Min.
“You are destroying all the PMD food delivery riders, you know or not? Footpaths cannot ride ah? At first, you emphasized [that] PMD is a fire hazard [and that] all must change to UL-2272,” he says in slang-choked Singlish. “Okay, you know, many owners got the UL2272 [certified e-scooters] just because of you, LTA people … Now, you say footpaths cannot ride? Wah! Must push ah?”
