The officer discharged his duty fairly. That PMD rider should count himself lucky he didn’t break his neck.

Brave rented cop who launched the flying kick was injured by the reckless driver.
SINGAPORE: A Certis CISCO auxiliary police officer has been suspended from active duty after he kicked a personal mobility device (PMD) rider off the road in Bedok on Tuesday (Dec 10).
The incident was caught on video, which showed an officer dashing across a pedestrian crossing towards a PMD rider who is speeding on the road on the left-most lane.
As the rider nears the traffic junction, the officer kicks the man on his side. The force of the kick sends the rider bouncing off the kerb and onto the pavement.
RIDER IGNORED OFFICERS, TOOK 'EVASIVE ACTION'
PMDs are not allowed on roads and expressways.
The Land Transport Authority in 2016 launched a team of Active Mobility Enforcement Officers (AMEOs) who patrol public paths and take action against users who violate rules and regulations.
A team of AMEOs and Certis CISCO auxiliary police officers (APOs) were conducting enforcement duties along Bedok Reservoir Road at about 6.40pm on Tuesday when they spotted a PMD user riding on the road near the junction at Bedok North Avenue 3, an LTA spokesperson said in response to queries on Wednesday.
"When signalled by the APOs to stop, the rider took evasive action. He was subsequently stopped by another APO stationed at the next junction," she said.
Certis is contracted by LTA to carry out enforcement, the spokesperson added.
RIDER IN DANGER OF CAUSING SERIOUS INJURIES TO HIMSELF AND OTHERS
According to a Certis spokesperson, the man had ignored "repeated instructions" from the APOs to stop.
He was riding on the road at a high speed and could cause serious injuries to members of the public or himself, said Certis in response to queries.
"A Certis CISCO officer who was stationed at the next junction resorted to kicking his device when the rider refused to stop," said the spokesperson.
The rider suffered abrasions on his right elbow and right knee and received medical attention from paramedics at the scene.
The officer was also injured and was treated on site before heading to the hospital for further assistance.
According to "established enforcement protocols", officers are required to note down the appearance of an "escaping PMD user" as accurately as possible and then lodge a report with LTA, said Certis' spokesperson.
"Certis has a zero-tolerance policy against rash acts and will not hesitate to take stern action against officers who are found to be in breach of protocol," she said.
Certis will conduct a disciplinary inquiry into the incident, the spokesperson said, adding that it is providing full assistance to police investigations.
The incident is being looked into by LTA, Certis and the police. The Singapore Police Force confirmed it was investigating the incident.
"LTA does not condone any behaviour that deviates from the established rules of engagement," the authority said.
The transport authority said on Wednesday it is also investigating the PMD rider for offences including riding an unregistered and non-compliant PMD on public roads and failing to stop when required by an officer.
RIDER'S PMD WEIGHED MORE THAN 30KG
The rider's PMD, which weighed 30.54kg, has been impounded, the spokesperson added.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that it was alerted to the incident at about 6.55pm on Tuesday and that a man was taken to Changi General Hospital.

The Certis Guard ought to praised and promoted, not suspended from duties. This is the precedence of more to come, you go soft on this and the PMD riders are just going to get more emboldened.
That twit riding the PMD should count himself lucky he didn’t die.

KNN the officer should say to cisco KNN you want me to catch rider but rider sure come in high speed KNN then you tell me how to catch him if he retaliate lo KNN or you never provide me with a pmd or motosikal to catch also KNN then you hired me for fuck KNN
The PMD rider was lucky he did not get shot at. In USA, when ordered to stop by law enforcement, any one disobeying that order could get shot or tasered. In SG, the LTA is not armed with pistol or taser; his only weapon is the flying kick.
LTA should give that kung fu officer a commendation for a job well done. In no time, all PMD riders in SG will kuai kuai stop when ordered by LTA officers. Unfair to punish such LTA officers for doing his job. Drastic acts call for drastic actions.
Somehow this seems like something Russian cops would do too
Russian cops are the best in law enforcement unlike softie mata mata in SG. When tiongs brawled or fought in public, what did the mata mata do? The tiongs would brawl and fight again in another place, another time. Cancel their work permits. This is the only way to get rid of the tiong scumbags in SG. Imprisonment means nothing to the tiongs; it is like putting up in a coop, hardly any impact on their egoism.

This CISCO enforcer is a National Hero. CISCO is stupid to suspend him, I would advise CISCO to reinstate him immediately. LTA needs to let CISCO know their officer should be reinstated.
If they follow protocol and just note down PMD rider appearance, the fucktard rider would've gotten away and not get caught. I have seen some of them wear masks while speeding along the road. How to identify them?
If this CISCO officer is not reinstated, PAP votes are on the line.

This is why so many car companies are making electric scooters and e-bikes
November 30, 2019 By News Team
We’ve all seen how electric scooters from companies like Bird and Lime are taking over cities. But now we’re watching big car companies like BMW, VW, GM, Peugot, Skoda, and more enter the two-wheeled EV game.
So what gives?
The latest car company to take its shot at an electric scooter is SEAT, who just unveiled a fast and powerful electric scooter.
SEAT’s electric scooter isn’t your standard Bird or Lime e-scooter, it’s a seated 125-cc equivalent electric scooter with an 11 kW motor. That’s enough power for a 0-50 km/h (0-31 mph) time of 3.8 seconds. Not too shabby for a scooter.
The scooter can travel up to 100 km/h (62 mph) and can reach up to 115 km (71 mi) of range on a single charge. SEAT’s electric scooter can comfortably fit two riders and even has storage for two helmets under the seat.
But SEAT has never shown any interest in seated electric scooters before (though they’ve tried their hand at standing scooters), so why the sudden shift?
Car manufacturers see the writing on the wall about personal electric vehicles
Essentially, car manufacturers see the way urban transportation is headed. And it’s not a pretty picture for conventional cars.
More and more cities are closing off areas to car traffic in favor of bikes, scooters, and other smaller vehicles.
Electric scooter-sharing companies are exploding in popularity.
Electric bicycle sales are at an all-time high and growing faster than ever.
In other words, personal electric vehicles like e-bikes and e-scooters are the future of urban transportation. Which isn’t to say that cars aren’t part of the picture. They just aren’t the only part anymore, and some would argue they soon won’t even be the main part.
And car companies aren’t blind. Nor are they stupid. They all want a piece of that action.
GM released their own electric bicycle last year in attempt to broaden their focus and reach riders in addition to drivers. BMW released an electric scooter, albeit not a very impressive one. Though perhaps we can forgive them on account of the company’s success with the BMW C Evolution electric maxiscooter and potentially an upcoming high-performance BMW electric motorcycle. Peugot has a nice line of electric bicycles. Skoda has one of the weirdest electric bike/scooter concepts I’ve ever seen.
Basically, everyone is getting in on the action.
Even the ride-sharing companies know where the urban transportation industry is headed. Uber’s CEO predicted last year that the company would provide more trips on its electric scooters and e-bikes within a decade than it would in its cars. And in some cities that is already happening. Perhaps that is why Uber has been so eager to expand its electric scooter and e-bike sharing programs around the world with strategic partnerships.
But car companies aren’t building electric scooters on their own
By and large, auto manufacturers aren’t reinventing the wheel when it comes to electric scooters. Instead, they’re licensing the wheel.
Most of the companies I listed above don’t actually build their own e-bikes and e-scooters, but rather they’ve partnered with companies that do.
Take SEAT, for example. They’ve got a great-looking 100 km/h electric scooter. Actually, it’s so great looking that it kind of rings a bell. Hmmm, why is that?
Oh that’s right, because it’s actually a slightly reworkedSilence S01 electric scooter that I had the pleasure of test riding (see video below). And remember SEAT’s electric kickscooter? That was a partnership with Segway.
And these strategic partnerships make sense.
Car companies can see that small electric vehicles are the future, though that still doesn’t mean they’re ready to bet the farm on it.
It’s much easier (and cheaper) to start out with a partnership like these and dip their two-wheeled electric toe in the water. Once car companies can determine if the market is there, or more importantly, if the profits are there, then we’ll be much more likely to see original e-bikes and e-scooters from major automotive manufacturers.
Until then, I’d call these partnerships a step in the right direction.
