Didn't know that cyclists below 16 year old are not allowed to ride motorised bicycle. Effective 1 Jan 2011, penalties include court action for some offenses which are currently not an offense. Max speed limit with power assistance - 25kmph. Above 25kmph, use your kaki power Please share this information to your friends and families who possess or intend to possess a motorised bicycle. Heavier Penalties for Motorised Bicycle Offences 1 From 1 January 2011, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) will impose heavier penalties on cyclists and retailers of motorised bicycles that do not meet LTA's technical requirements. Most of the fines will be doubled for errant cyclists and suppliers. Cyclists will face a fine ranging from $100 to $500, up from the current fines of $50 to $200. Retailers will face more severe penalties, with fines starting from $500. (Please refer to the Annex A for the full list of enhanced penalties for various offences.) 2 LTA will roll out a public education programme to educate suppliers and cyclists on safety requirements of motorised bicycles and on how to identify approved models. Posters and brochures will be distributed to community centres, foreign worker dormitories as well as motorised bicycle retailers (Please refer to Annex B for the safety requirements and Annex C for examples of a motorised bicycle that meets LTA's technical requirements versus an illegal model.) 4 Mr Colin Lim, LTA's Group Director for Vehicle and Transit Licensing said, "For the safety of cyclists and other road users, only low-powered models of motorised bicycles which are approved by LTA and affixed with an LTA seal, are allowed on public roads. With the increase in offences relating to illegal motorised bicycles over the last two years, we see a need to enhance both public education and the penalty framework to stress the importance of safety related to the use of motorised bicycles." 5 Members of the public can visit www.onemotoring.com.sg or call LTA at 1800 CALL LTA (1800 2255 582) to obtain information on the requirements before purchasing and using a motorised bicycle.

Hi guys you know where to get one? How much roughly

I was travelling along Balestier Road towards Serangoon Road on 22 Apr 2010 (Thursday) at around 9pm, encountered a group of youngsters (approximately 5-6 guys), age range between late teens to early twenties, riding heavily 'zhng-ed' motorised bicycles with pillion riders, dangerously weaving in and out of lanes 3 and 2 at estimated speeds of 40-50km/hr. I wouldn't care much if they were abiding road safety and actually cared about the safety of other road users..these guys were switching lanes without checking blind spots, and even when they did, they didn't care about who was beside them! They would change lanes abruptly and be so close to the vehicle next to them, there were at least 4-5 situations where cars had to give way to avoid hitting them! I even saw a Mercedes stopping by the road side to let them gain some distance before continuing his drive. (Careful but wise choice in my opinion) These people were riding with young girls as pillion riders, more disturbingly, they were riding with the cannot-care-less atittude and thinking that they were king of the road.. Ranting here wouldn't help much, but I hope to create a bit of awareness here and warn fellow motorists of the existance of these dangerous road users. Drive with full attention and be sure to look far ahead to find out/anticipate what could be coming your way.....getting involved in an accident with these guys, I can only imagine one way ticket for your hard earned money and trauma for your weak heart if you have one
