The registration of power-assisted bicycles, or e-bikes, will begin on August 14, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Wednesday.
Here are a few guidelines to remember:
- To register an e-bike, the owner must be at least 16 years old
- Those who currently e-bikes with valid LTA seals can register their e-bikes online at www.onemotoring.com.sg
- Alternatively, they can go to any SingPost post office with the relevant identification documents and their e-bike's seal number
- The S$50 registration fee and other fees for inspection, approval and affixing of LTA's seal will apply in these cases
- E-bike users have until January 31 next year to register their devices and affix them with a number plate
- After this date, it will be an offence to keep or use an unregistered e-bike
- Those keeping or using an unregistered e-bike on public roads and public paths are liable to be fined up to $2,000 or jailed up to 3 months, or both, for the first offence
