Hub_n_mona 1st Gear May 16, 2012 Share May 16, 2012 This is also ILLEGAL thanks for stating the obvious mate..I would say it's not yet legal "Riding the YikeBike in Singapore The YikeBike is a new phenomenon with such unique design specifications that it does not fit squarely into any of Singapore's current vehicular categories. It has been brought to the attention of the LTA and is currently under evaluation. As such it currently does NOT require registration, licensing nor insurance. It does NOT have LTA approval for use on public roads. Its lightweight design and limited top speed was designed for it to be used similarly to a bicycle with appropriate safety gear. We recommend that it be ridden responsibly and safely on pedestrian pathways, private areas, park connectors, recreational areas away from fast moving vehicular traffic..."

Unltd 5th Gear May 16, 2012 Share May 16, 2012 Ha ... so is cycling on pavements but that hasn't stopped you ... David just needs to qualify his statements la, illegal is sg has quite different meaning from illegal on public roads and pedestrian walkways... E.g for Segway the Lta reply is We would like to inform you that the Land Transport Authority (LTA) regulates vehicles that can be used on public roads. The Segway Human Transporter is not designed for and hence not suitable for use on public roads where there would be interactions with motor vehicles. Given its design and construction, the Segway Human Transporter cannot meet our technical requirements and be registered for use on public roads. Under the Road Traffic Rules, motorised vehicles such as the Segway human transporter are not allowed on pedestrian walksways. If you intend to use the Segway on private grounds and non-public roads (i.e. recreational/private compounds, factory ground, airport terminals, etc), permission should be obtained from the authorities/owners governing such places. Otherwise we wouldn't have it at the airport and sentosa.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
