Despite continued and routine enforcement actions<\/a> taken by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) against errant personal mobility device (PMD) users, one teenager appears to not have taken heed.<\/p>\n A video posted by Instagram user YX on Saturday (May 23) shows a male teenager riding his PMD down Keppel Road at night, while mimicking Superman, extending his legs out into the air.<\/p>\n Based on the video, the teen whizzed past at least two cars driving along the leftmost lane in vicinity of Keppel MRT station.\u00a0<\/p>\n Checks by AsiaOne indicate that the stretch of road has a speed limit of 60kmh.\u00a0<\/p>\n Meanwhile, PMDs such as e-scooters are capped at a maximum speed of 25kmh. They are only allowed on cycling paths \u2014 not on roads or footpaths.\u00a0<\/p>\n Those found using PMDs illegally on the roads could face fines of up to $2,000, imprisonment of up to three months, or both. Their non-compliant devices will also be impounded.\u00a0<\/p>\n In 2025, some 900-non-compliant devices were seized<\/a> by LTA.\u00a0<\/p>\n Last month, LTA conducted a joined enforcement operation with the police, targeting errant cyclists and device users at various hotspots in the east. A total of 118 non-compliant devices were impounded.<\/p>\n LTA requires motorised personal mobility devices to comply with UL2272 standards for fire safety, while power-assisted bicycles must meet EN15194 standards for public safety.\u00a0<\/p>\n Examples of illegal modification that would render a device non-compliant includes replacing electrical parts like batteries and motor hubs with third-party or non-original components.\u00a0<\/p>\n Members of the public who encounter errant active mobility users can report them online via LTA’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n [[nid:735771]]<\/p>\n editor@asiaone.com<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Despite continued and routine enforcement actions taken by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) against errant personal mobility device (PMD) users, one teenager appears to not…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":54849,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2611],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-headlines","wpcat-2611-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=54848"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54848\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/54849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=54848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=54848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=54848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Map](\"https:\/\/www.asiaone.com\/sites\/default\/files\/inline-images\/Keppel-Road-PMD-Superman-Teenager.png\")
