Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) has stepped up enforcement efforts following the implementation of new Personal Mobility Aid (PMA) regulations that came into effect on June 1, 2026.
In a Facebook update on June 9, LTA said its active mobility enforcement officers have been conducting checks across the island to ensure users and retailers comply with the latest rules.
The authority added that officers have already engaged dozens of PMA users to educate them on the proper use of approved devices and remind them of the updated requirements.
Enforcement Operations Underway
Photos released by LTA showed enforcement officers speaking with PMA users in Yishun as part of ongoing outreach and enforcement activities.
According to the authority, 25 PMA users were approached over the past week and reminded about the regulations governing the use of mobility devices.
The checks form part of a broader effort to improve safety on public paths and ensure that only compliant mobility devices are being used.
LTA has repeatedly emphasised that PMAs are intended to support individuals with genuine mobility needs and must comply with prescribed technical and safety standards.
Retailer Found Selling Non-Compliant Devices
During the recent operations, officers also uncovered violations involving a personal mobility device retailer.
LTA said three offences were detected at the retailer’s premises, resulting in three devices being seized and impounded.
The authority did not disclose the identity of the retailer or provide details regarding the specific breaches detected.
However, the latest enforcement action signals that authorities are monitoring not only users but also businesses involved in the sale and distribution of active mobility devices.
Retailers found selling non-compliant products may face enforcement action under Singapore’s active mobility laws.
Dozens Of Devices Seized In May
The latest operation follows a wider enforcement exercise carried out in May 2026.
According to LTA, officers detected a total of 236 offences during inspections conducted last month.
A total of 77 non-compliant active mobility devices were seized and removed from circulation.
The figures highlight the continued challenge of ensuring compliance within Singapore’s active mobility landscape despite years of public education and enforcement efforts.
Public Reminded Of Penalties
LTA reminded members of the public that possessing non-UL2272-certified Personal Mobility Devices (PMDs) remains an offence under Singapore law.
The UL2272 certification standard is designed to ensure the electrical safety of mobility devices and reduce the risk of fires caused by battery-related issues.
Individuals found keeping non-compliant PMDs may face serious penalties.
For first-time offenders, the maximum punishment includes up to three months’ imprisonment, a fine of up to S$2,000, or both.
LTA urged users, retailers and owners of active mobility devices to familiarise themselves with the latest regulations and ensure that their devices meet all legal requirements before using them on public paths.
