Free disposal scheme for non-compliant e-scooters extended by three months

SINGAPORE - Owners of non-compliant motorised personal mobility devices have until the end of June to dispose of their devices, said the Land Transport Authority on Monday .From July 1 onwards, all motorised PMDs like e-scooters and hoverboards which are used on public paths must be certified to the UL2272 safety standard, which shows a device has undergone accredited electrical, mechanical and environmental testing.

Owners of non-UL2272 devices can dispose of them for free at designated points set up at public housing estates or at LTA's Sin Ming office. A mandatory inspection regime for registered e-scooters will kick in from Wednesday and all e-scooters which were earlier registered and self-declared as UL2272-certified will also be scheduled for inspections.

Since July 1 last year, retailers have been prohibited from selling devices which are not compliant with the UL2272 standard.
