THE ‘micromobility’ concept is growing and will soon have an impact on Penang’s plans to encourage the use of bicycles and e-scooters as transport modes.

Gazetted in October, Road Transport (Amendment) Act 2020 includes as ‘micromobility’ vehicles any mode propelled by electricity, internal combustion or human power, or any combination of these, and having a maximum speed of 50 km/h.
