Exploring Singapore on Electric Scooters: Where to Ride
Electric scooters have risen in popularity worldwide, and Singapore is no exception. As a compact, efficient, and environmentally friendly mode of transport, e-scooters are perfect for experiencing the city-state's scenic routes and fascinating urban spaces. However, it is essential to know where electric scooters are allowed and which areas are off-limits to ensure a safe, enjoyable, and hassle-free ride.
In Singapore, electric scooters are permitted on footpaths, shared paths, and cycling paths - but banned on roads and pedestrian-only paths as per the Active Mobility Act (AMA) guidelines. Here are some top e-scooter friendly areas in Singapore:
East Coast Park: Boasting a 15km stretch of coastline, paved cycling paths, and magnificent ocean views, this park is a favorite among e-scooter riders. Stop by the various food establishments along the way for a quick bite or simply take in the scenery of the beaches and green spaces.
Punggol Waterway Park: Designed with four themed areas - Nature Cove, Recreation Zone, Heritage Zone, and Green Gallery - this park offers riders the opportunity to explore Singapore's waterfront living. With its wide promenades and well-maintained cycling tracks, it is an idyllic spot for e-scooter enthusiasts.
Marina Bay: If cityscapes are more your style, a ride along the Marina Bay waterfront promenade is a must. Enjoy iconic views of Singapore's skyline as you glide past landmarks like the Marina Bay Sands, ArtScience Museum, and Helix Bridge.
Park Connector Network (PCN): Singapore's expansive PCN connects parks and green spaces across the island, offering riders an escape from the urban jungle. With tracks that stretch along rivers and through gardens, the PCN is the perfect way to discover the city's diverse landscapes.
Before embarking on your e-scooter journey, make sure to familiarize yourself with local laws and regulations; riders must be 16 years or older, wear helmets, and adhere to speed limits (10km/h on footpaths and 25km/h on cycling and shared paths). Lastly, ensure your e-scooter complies with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) requirements, such as having a maximum device speed of 25 km/h and a weight limit of 20kg.
With these guidelines in mind, hop on your e-scooter and enjoy exploring Singapore's enchanting and diverse neighborhoods, parks, and waterfronts.
