Suppliers of e-Bikes will need to submit the relevant certification or documents to get the approval.<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"http:\/\/www.onemotoring.com.sg\/publish\/onemotoring\/en\/lta_information_guidelines\/buy_a_new_vehicle\/motorised_bicycles.html\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here to Read More from One Motoring<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>So, if you are thinking of buying an e-Bike, please ensure that it meets the future specs from LTA.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Technical Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>LTA has revised the technical requirements for power-assisted bicycles (PABs) to make such bicycles safer for the cyclists and other road users.<\/p>\n<p>From 1 February 2016, only PABs that meet the following revised requirements will be approved and treated like conventional bicycles and exempted from registration with LTA:<\/p>\n<p>The construction of a PAB must be similar to that of a conventional bicycle;<br \/>\nThe PAB can only be powered by an electric source;<br \/>\nThe PAB must comply with European Standard, EN15194, for electric power assisted cycles;<br \/>\nThe maximum continuous power output of the PAB must not exceed 250 watts;<br \/>\nThe motor power of the PAB can only cut in when the rider starts to pedal;<br \/>\nThe motor power of the PAB must be progressively reduced and finally cut off as the bicycle reaches 25km\/h, or sooner, if the cyclist stops pedalling;<br \/>\nThe maximum weight of the PAB must not exceed 20kg.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I think the scary part about the revision is that there will be heavier fines for people who are currently riding these PABs that are non-compliant to the current LTA regulations. I suspect, from 1st of December, there will be a lot more LTA officers on the road looking out for these e-bikers.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>To stem this trend, with immediate effect, the composition fine for first-time offenders will be raised to S$300, up from the current S$100.\u00a0Subsequent offences will attract composition sums of S$500, up from the current S$200.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h1><a href=\"http:\/\/www.channelnewsasia.com\/news\/singapore\/tighter-rules-for-e\/2275474.html\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here for More Information from CNA<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>What do you think about the new rules and regulations on e-Bikes in Singapore?
