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.

“The use of these vehicles are allowed within the compound of a private property for example, at facilities such as resorts where its roads are private or areas designated by local authorities for the use of micromobilty vehicles.Dr Wee said the ban was necessary as more and more micromobility vehicles were being used on public roads of late.The Road Traffic Rules 2021 came into operation on Dec 17 last year.

Dr Wee said local authorities can provide infrastructure and facilities that can support the controlled use of micromobility vehicles, adding the key element is to ensure safe usage of these vehicles and that they do not “mix” with traffic. He said the Road Transport Department, together with the police, would take action against those found using these vehicles on the road.
