PMD retailers meet with LTA to air concern over e-scooters worth millions in stockpile

SINGAPORE - Retailers fear a combined stock of 11,000 e-scooters worth millions of dollars may go largely unsold, as several met with the Land Transport Authority on Wednesday to voice their concerns of plummeting demand now that the devices have been banned on footpaths.

Retailers say sales have been significantly slower since the ban on e-scooters from footpaths kicked in on Nov 5. "Several retailers shared with us that they were keen to sell power-assisted bicycles," LTA added."We agreed to help familiarise them with the requirements and approval processes for the sale of PABs."

Other major retailers, such as IPassion Group, Falcon PEV, Minimotors and Electrowolf also reported inventories of e-scooters worth six-figure sums, according to the document.

The importer can export to another country that allow e-scooter .

Oh..when u were making profits, did you air to LTA' you guys were great n did a fantastic job'

C'est la Vie. Have you disbursed your profits for victims medical bills and funeral services?

This should be the least of our worry. The Food Delivery folks, whose livelihood was impacted by the ban remains SG's top priority! These importers - it's just a business risk!
