Three people were taken to hospital after an accident involving a motorcycle and a personal mobility aid (PMA) at Hill Street towards Victoria Street on Oct 3.

Stomper Missy alerted Stomp to the accident and shared photos of the aftermath.

Photos shared by Missy show a red motorcycle and a PMA lying on the road after the impact.


Both riders are lying on the ground.

A boy wearing a yellow T-shirt is seen standing over the PMA rider and crying.


According to a video posted on ROADS.sg'sebook page, the traffic light in favour of the motorcycle when the collision happened.


The PMA was crossing the road when the motorcycle hit its side, causing the riders of both the motorcycle and PMA to fall to the road.

Passers-by were seen rushing to help

In response to a Stomp query, the police said they were alerted to the accident at 10.10am.

"A 22-year-old male motorcyclist, a 63-year-old male PMA rider and his six-year-old male passenger were conveyed conscious to the hospital," a police spokesperson said.

"The 63-year-old male PMA rider is assisting with investigations."

According to the Active Mobility Act, only one person is allowed to ride on a PMA, as they are designed to carry a single individual who has difficulty walking.

PMA lookalikes typically have more than one seat for pillion riders and are classified as personal mobility devices (PMDs), which are allowed only on cycling and shared paths but not footpaths.

Police investigations are ongoing.

There is no mandatory insurance for PMA in Singapore. I doubt any insurance company would want to underwrite PMA. Fire not included ?

Pma no insurance then sue the rider for compensation?

You must first ensure PMA rider have money to pay, or he from good family ... if not Lawyer letter goes, next is Court case.
The issue with going this way, the Rider must have money to pay.
Once you encounter a lowlife, they willing to bankrupt themselves, then we LLST & incur Lawyer fee ourselves, not worth.

Refusal to set laws on these fast moving pma, Armstrong wannabes & PMAs thus endangering everyone on the road that paid insurance, took expensive driving lessons & test.
