Darkness is not a problem. It's the smell that's the dealbreaker.

Riders of motorised devices need to be certified and insured. Why hasn't LTA done that?

Ok noted. Get well soon....

I insist that if you are too weak or lazy to ride a traditional bicycle, you should ride a wheelchair instead.

E-bikes should be treated like real motorbikes or scooters.
