Stomper concerned to see LTA officers taking locked e-bike 'without permission' outside Great World
Land Transport Authority (LTA) enforcement officers were seen impounding a non-compliant power-assisted bicycle (PAB) outside Great World on April 14.
Stomper JX said the owner of the e-bike was not present at the time.
"I witnessed three LTA officers take the locked e-bike around 4.30pm without permission from the owner," recounted the Stomper, who shared a brief video of the incident.
"I wonder if this is the standard procedure in Singapore. I wonder if they were trying to meddle with other people's bicycles too."
In response to a Stomp query, an LTA spokesperson said: "During a routine patrol near Great World on April 14, LTA enforcement officers spotted an unattended and unregistered non-compliant power-assisted bicycle (PAB).
"As non-compliant PABs are not allowed to be kept or used for safety reasons, the enforcement officers impounded the device."
Under the Road Traffic (Power-Assisted Bicycles - Approval) Rules, no one may keep or use a PAB unless it complies with the specified requirements and has been approved and sealed by an authorised examiner.
