SINGAPORE: A "super long" e-scooter was impounded by the Land Transport Authority on Tuesday morning (Oct 23).
The personal mobility device (PMD), which was the length of a car, was spotted and impounded by Active Mobility Enforcement Officers during a routine enforcement patrol, LTA said in a Facebook post.

The e-scooter was found to have exceeded the permissible weight of 20kg, which disqualified it from being used on public paths. Riding a PMD on the road is also illegal.

PMD users can find out if their device fits LTA's device criteria, as well as the associated regulations and rules of conduct on LTA's website.
