Electric Scooter FAQ

Q: What is UL2272?
A: UL2272 is a fire safety standard given to electric scooters and electric hoverboards that has passed rigorous testing conducted by UL, an independent USA company.

In September 2018, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) of Singapore announced that electric scooters and personal mobility devices sold from July 2019 onward must comply with the UL2272 standard. At the time of this announcement, the vast majority of electric scooter brands in Singapore are not UL2272 certified.

Users of PMDs who own non-UL2272 certified devices can continue to use them until the end of 2020. From 1st January 2021, only UL2272 certified devices can be used legally.

What is the latest LTA requirement for e-scooters?
Only UL2272 certified e-scooters will be allowed on public paths by 1st January 2021. That being said, if your current e-scooter is non-UL2272 certified, you will only be able to use your e-scooter until 31st December 2020.


What is UL2272 certification?
This is a U.S. certification that is given to electrical mobility devices that have undergone thorough safety tests and have been found to meet all the safety standards. These devices are tested based on several components like the electrical and mechanical factor for safety, and even the impact of environmental factors, such as exposure to water and extreme cold or hot temperatures. 


Why is UL2272 certification important?

The LTA made this move in order to tackle the increasing case of fires that are being caused by defective devices. These defective e-scooters are either being sold online by untrusted sellers, have undergone modification which is illegal, or simply not adhere to safety certification stipulations as required by The Standards, Productivity and Innovation Board (SPRING Singapore). The new fire safety standards will, therefore, prevent these illegal and unethical practices by sellers and retailers and, consequently, protect the end-user.

Trial to allow all-day access for folding bikes, personal mobility devices (PMD) on trains & buses starting Dec.

 

 
 

SINGAPORE - From Dec 1st 2016, bus & MRT commuters will be able to bring foldable bicycles & personal mobility devices (PMD) such as kick & e-scooters onto buses & MRT trains all day as part of a six-month trial as announced earlier by Minister for Transport, Mr. Khaw Boon Wan in July this year.
"This is another step taken by LTA to encourage more people to use public transport, and to adopt active mobility for the first and last mile of their daily public transport commutes," said a spokesman for the authority.

Commuters will be allowed to bring foldable bicycles and PMDS which meet the following dimensions:
Length up to 120cm
Height of 70cm
Width of 40cm

Most bikes and PMDs currently available on the market meet these standards.
These devices must be folded at all times, and switched off when brought on board MRT trains and buses. They are also not allowed on the staircases or upper decks of double-decker buses.

"This initiative integrates active mobility with our public transport system, and brings us closer to our aspiration for walking, cycling and riding public transport to be the best way to get around in Singapore," said Mr Jeremy Yap, deputy chief executive for public transport, policy and planning at LTA.

"Commuters will able to cycle or ride to nearby transport nodes, bring their foldable bicycles and personal mobility devices on board public transport, and complete their journeys on their devices."

Maintenance Guide & Precautions

Maintaining your electric scooter and using it responsibly will allow you to maximize its lifespan, and ensure that you have a safe and an enjoyable experience while on the move. Below are some methods you could use to clean and take care of your personal mobility device, as well as some precautions that have to be taken to prevent unnecessary wear-and-tear to the device.

CAUTION: Always turn OFF the power and disconnect your personal mobility device’s power cord before attempting to perform any type of maintenance on it.

Maintenance Tips:
1. Tire threads may get worn out after long-term usage. Check them daily and replace tires that are starting to thin in order to ensure a safe journey.

2. Cover your scooter to prevent dust build-up and unnecessary exposure to the elements while in storage.

3. Movable parts including the wheels, steering tiller and seats need to be adjusted so that the scooter functions consistently.

4. The seating cushion might cause irritation to your skin particularly after sweating heavily. Check for this before starting a long journey.

5. It is a good idea to routinely check the battery’s power level. Re-charging the battery before it gets too low will protect it from unnecessary wear. If your battery is not charging or discharging properly, you will need to replace it before your electric scooter is damaged.

 

Precautions:
1. Rainy weather should be avoided, as the electronic components may be damaged if submerged in a puddle of water. Also, streets are slippery, endangering the user if he loses control of his device.

2. Overcharging the battery could damage it and reduce its lifespan- you are advised not to leave the battery to charge overnight.

3. Battery should be placed on a hard, flat surface while charging in order to ensure optimal heat dissipation.

4. While charging, keep the battery away from all combustible materials.

Cleaning Tips:
Cleaning your scooter is a delicate affair; DO NOT spray water or any other cleaning agents directly onto the scooter and DO NOT use wax, oil or other harsh cleaners.

First, dust exposed parts of the scooter with a soft, dry cloth. Next, follow up on the hard exterior with a cloth that has been slightly dampened with glass cleaner or liquid detergent (take care to avoid the seats and electrical components). The seats should be wiped with soft disinfectant wipes, while electrical components should be kept dry. After the process is done, wipe with a dry cloth to remove residual cleaning fluids again.
