On March 1, next year, a ban on renting e-kick scooters will take effect, while the use of privately owned e-kick scooters will remain permissible under the existing law, the Transport Ministry has said.
The Ministry said that the Government intends to introduce incentives to encourage individuals interested in using this mode of transportation to own their e-kick scooters.
This initiative aims to promote responsible e-kick scooter usage and reduce inconvenience for communities and people.
It said that “despite increased enforcement and fines, communities have continued to endure the disturbances caused by rented e-kick scooters.”
The Ministry added that these enforcement resources will also be redirected towards other efforts aimed at enhancing road safety.
“Once again, measures are being taken to prioritise order and public safety,” it said.

reduce inconvenience for communities and people. We’ll done. It will surely help owners od such scooter to be responsible for his or her property. This shows that TM is very responsible and tries to find a good solution not only for e-kick scooter but and I quote: The Ministry added that these enforcement resources will also be redirected towards other efforts aimed at enhancing road safety. I hope that the issue of Quadbikes is in their study to reduce grave accidents and even deaths. I am eager to find out what precautions and solutions TM might enforce.
