The minister also clarified that bicycles are a type of micro-mobility vehicle but they are not prohibited on the road. However, they do need to comply with the regulations under both the Road Transport Act and Road Traffic Rules.

Speaking on electric bicycles, those that comply with the standards department’s requirements are allowed on the road.

“The police and road transport department will start enforcement immediately and those that are found breaking the law will be prosecuted under the Road Transport Act.”
