An e-bike rider was seen zipping alongside traffic in Toa Payoh, startling a motorist who said the rider was going too fast for comfort.

Stomper Mr Tan recounted the incident, which occurred on May 5 at about 4.40pm.

He was driving along Toa Payoh Lorong 2 towards Balestier Road when he noticed the e-bike travelling next to vehicles.

"Like a motorcycle," said Mr Tan, who shared a video of the rider in action.

"I feel the rider was going too fast. Speeding is dangerous."

In the video, the e-bike appears to be moving swiftly alongside cars.

While e-bikes, also known as power-assisted bicycles (PABs), are allowed on roads in Singapore, riders must adhere to a speed limit of 25kmh and wear helmets.

Under the Active Mobility Act, PABs must also be registered and bear a number plate.

Mr Tan hopes the rider will be more cautious for his own safety and that of others.
