⚠️Do not modify your Active Mobility Devices (AMDs) as they pose safety risks to yourself and others.
In April 2024, two fire incidents were linked to non-compliant Power-Assisted Bicycles (PABs) fitted with higher-capacity batteries.🔋 Investigations revealed that owners of both PABs had either purchased the PAB or an additional PAB battery from Drive Bikes Singapore.
Mr Prince Bryan Tan, Sales & Marketing Manager of Drive Bikes Singapore, will be charged in court tomorrow for:
1️⃣ Selling a non-compliant PAB under the Active Mobility Act 2017, and
2️⃣ Causing a PAB to be modified, rendering it non-compliant for use under the Traffic Act 1961.
We take these offences seriously. Remember to only purchase and use devices and parts (including batteries) from original manufacturers or official retailers. Non-compliant users may be fined up to $10,000, or face imprisonment up to 6 months, or both. 🚫
