SINGAPORE - A 57-year-old electric bicycle rider reportedly died in hospital after an accident with a car on Monday (Feb 13) night in Hougang.

The e-bike and car collided at the junction of Hougang Street 93 and Buangkok Green at 8.09pm.

 

The police told The Straits Times on Tuesday (Feb 14) that the 57-year-old man was taken unconscious to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

 

The man, whom Lianhe Wanbao identified in a report on Tuesday as Mr Ng Cheo Kok, later died.

 

Police investigations are ongoing.

 

This is the latest in a spate of fatal e-bike accidents.

 

In November last year, a 62-year-old e-bike rider died after an accident with a tipper truck. Two other e-bike riders - aged 18 and 25 - died in an accident involving three e-bikes and a trailer in October.

Highly likely to be a illegal PAB.

too many of such cases.

But we really dont know in this instance.

 

Today i saw a man on an ebike with two extra seats attached to the frame.

Yes, little girl in front and little boy behind.

That's an illegal act.

 

It all boils down to lack of public awareness on this matter.

 

i think there is alot of awareness...  

 

just not enough public enforcement...  

 

once accidents happen.. LTA come out.. action one round.. pang gang.. KPI achieved..  

 

wait for next activation...

There are still a lot of illegal PAB on the road now even before the new rule.  Where got a lot of awareness?

 

I wonder how many of us here knows the rule in active mobility bill:

i dont know the specifics.. all i know is not LTA approved = cannot be on public roads.. 

 

i think that about sums it up..

 

all the specifics of punishments etc.. is secondary...

How to know whether PAB is LTA approved?

 

In addition, there is rule on usage.

 

If you also don't know, what's public awareness are we talking about here?

this is why we need registration, for all vehicles and any type of transport on the road,

 

How to enforce?

 

That mean bicycle uses by kids also le.

 

Registration does not solve the problem.

 

Public awareness + Enforcement.

 

Both of this aspect is seriously lacking.

Public awareness + Enforcement.

 

Both of this aspect is seriously lacking.

for a start.

 

law must be make, all shop selling bike/ other type of transport etc must give out hand book and explain in person to the buyer etc etc, if trace back they did not, penalty must be heavy.

parent must be liable for their kids

 

so no more excuse say dun know.

 

if u want to ride on the road,must  register to get a plate etc , otherwise cycle. ride use in park or cycling  lane for etc only

those on the road 1 must go for some basic theory that teach them the proper rules n law ,

and teach them how vehicle move ,how light changes etc etc

so they can better protect themself and cause less problem on the road.

 

also with a plate got identification, mean all the rider know they cannot suka suka be reckless and get away with it.

no more hit and runs.

 

and lastly must buy a small insurance, in case they buang other road user, example some 1 precious side mirror, ppl crossing road etc etc , at least, other ppl can get some compensation, dun need run also.

 

and of course enforcement must be strict,

any 1 without plates on the road, 

bike pme , watever, must be chiong gong,

for first few years, can give a 1 time warning, 

(in case u say u had the equipment ages ago, u still dun know)

 

singapore so small, what cannot be done? its wanna do or not only.
