Trundling into trouble: Singapore targets e-scooters after accidents

- International clampdown -
Singapore is just the latest country trying to get control of the scooters.
Last week, the French government issued new rules, including a ban on using them on pavements -- unless a city permits them in certain areas -- and a 25 kilometre per hour speed limit.
Germany does not allow them on pavements while London has taken the most extreme approach of major European cities, prohibiting the two-wheelers entirely unless a rider has a driving licence, insurance, road tax, a helmet and a number plate.
The hardest hit in Singapore by the new rules is the army of people using e-scooters to deliver food across the city for companies such as Deliveroo, Grab and Foodpanda, although authorities have taken steps to help.
On Friday, the transport ministry said the government and companies were offering grants for e-scooter delivery riders to switch to other devices including regular and power-assisted bicycles.
Benjamin Goh has already changed to a bike for his food delivery job -- but said his income would be affected as cycling is more exhausting, meaning he can complete fewer orders.
"It's very tiring for me to use a bicycle," said the 26-year-old single father, adding that he would also end up fatigued and potentially less capable of caring for his young son after work.
Goh said he felt food delivery workers were being punished for the bad behaviour of some recreational riders, but conceded: "I can understand why people hate us."

Same here, I still usually see one or two. Instead of advising them not to ride on footpaths like I used to, damn sian liao, I just stare at them. Thus far, all looked away and avoided eye contact. They know they have until Dec 31 and their days are numbered. Really feel like whacking them, but don't want to get into trouble with the law.
Do what you want but don't get caught.
The 'ulu' places are safer compared to the touristy city areas and major HDB towns.
I will point and laff loudly at them
The ebikes must be banned too.How is an e-bike safer than an e-scooter?
Else the same fucking problem will return
I've noticed an increase of PABs, on footpaths and on the roads.
