A woman had her e-scooter confiscated after she rode on the road along Edgefield Plains with a child as pillion, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Thursday, Feb. 2.
The woman was stopped by Active Mobility Enforcement Officers during a regular enforcement exercise against the riding of personal mobility devices (PMDs) on roads.
The woman's heavy duty e-scooter appears to have been modified to take up to two more pillion riders.
"Her actions put herself and her young child in danger, and her Personal Mobility Device (PMD) has since been impounded", LTA said.
The authority also issued a reminder to the public that it is an offence to ride PMDs on the road and that only bicycles and LTA-approved power assisted bicycles are allowed to do so.
“We will take enforcement action against any rider found breaking the law,” the LTA said.
