It was previously reported that the Land Transport Authority (LTA) is offering S$100 for the early disposal of non-UL2272 e-scooters from September 23 to November 30.

On Monday (Nov. 4), the LTA announced that the deadline for this initiative has been extended to Dec. 31, 2019.

This, the agency said, is aimed at incentivising PMD users to dispose of their non-certified e-scooters, which are not allowed to be used in public from July 1, 2020.

After Dec. 31, members of the public still can take their non-certified e-scooters to be disposed at no charge.

It seems that many users have responded well to the scheme and started to get rid of their non-certified e-scooters.

Snaking queues formed at this particular disposal point at Hougang on Nov. 3:

Similarly, The New Paper reported that a steady stream of people turned up to a collection point at Block 246A at Bishan Street 22 on Nov. 3 to hand their e-scooters over.

How to get the early disposal incentive

If you would also like to turn in your e-scooter for the S$100 incentive, make sure that you've fulfilled the following criteria:

1. The e-scooter must be registered with LTA.
2. The e-scooter must be affixed with a Registration Mark and Identification Mark.
3. The Registration Mark affixed on the e-scooter is not tampered with or otherwise display the word “void” on the Registration Mark. If the Registration Mark is damaged due to wear and tear, at least one legible character on the Registration Mark must match the corresponding character on the identification Mark.
4. The e-scooter must be disposed of at any designated disposal points (in the table below).
5. The person returning the e-scooter must be the registered owner recorded in LTA’s register of e-scooters.
6. The person returning the e-scooter must maintain a valid bank account number in Singapore that can receive the S$100 incentive.

Then, you will have to register yourself online to dispose of your e-scooter. Here's a step-by-step:

1. You will need to login to www.onemotoring.com.sg with your SingPass/CorpPass.

2. At the dashboard, head to the “Your vehicles” section and click on the tab of your e-scooter registration number and click on “E-scooter Disposal”.

3. Fill in the following information to complete the application form:

• Your e-scooter registration number
• Your mobile number
• Your bank account details
• Authorised representative’s name, identification number and mobile number (if someone is disposing of the e-scooter at the disposal point on your behalf).

After completing the online application form for E-scooter Disposal, you will receive a confirmation SMS.

Disposal points

Afterwards, to finally get the S$100 early disposal incentive, you have to dispose of your non-UL2272 e-scooter at these designated disposal points before the end of this year.

The early disposal incentive will be credited to your bank or PayNow account indicated on the application form within two weeks of dropping off your devices at these specific disposal points.
