The ban on riding e-scooters on footpaths will be extended to all motorised personal mobility devices (PMDs), under amendments to the Active Mobility Act introduced in Parliament on Monday (Jan 6).

The ban came into effect for e-scooters – defined as motorised PMDs with handlebars – on Nov 5 last year.

Under the Active Mobility (Amendment) Bill, the footpath ban will include devices such as hoverboards and electric unicycles.
