We refer to Mr Henry Ong’s letter (“Relook 20kg weight limit to allow safer, heavier models”, 8 Aug 2022).

To ensure the safety for all path users, PABs which can be used on both roads and cycling paths must adhere to a set of criteria including 20kg weight limit, maximum width and speed limit, as well as technical standards.

We are constantly reviewing the active mobility landscape to ensure that devices can be used in a safe and sustainable manner. We thank Mr Henry Ong for his feedback.
