Small, but a big danger on roads


PUTRAJAYA: Moped, electric scooters, skateboards and motorised wheelchairs are among micromobility vehicles that are banned on public roads effective immediately, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.The Transport Minister said they were banned due to several reasons, including safety of road users by ensuring that a “dangerous mix” of micromobility vehicles and other vehicles on the roads are avoided.

He said the ruling was also to stop the use of such vehicles which do not comply with road regulations and for them to be modified and be used for illegal racing.
