If you have not heard the news, our Transport Ministry had recently announced that they have accepted the recommendation<\/a> by AMAP (Active Mobility Advisory Panel) and as early as next year, PMD (Portable Mobility Devices) or PEV (Portable Electric Vehicle) will be legal on the shared path, pavement and on the road (Not PEV\/PMD but Electric Bicycle\/bicycle only).\u00a0\u00a0BTW, NTUC Income announced that they are the first Insurance Company<\/a> to have this\u00a0Personal Mobility Guard for PEVs and PMDs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to get one PMD<\/a> for yourself, this event will be a great opportunity to try out or even buy one\u00a0of them back. If you are curious about the recommendations by AMAP, I am sure you can find the answers there.<\/p>\n

If you are already one of the PMD<\/a>\/PEV<\/a> community, be there to support it.<\/p>\n
