Two in five Singaporeans want PMDs banned

Electric scooters ranked as most dangerous mode of transport

Recent fatalities involving PMDs (Personal Mobility Devices) have resulted in Singaporeans calling for a ban. Latest YouGov research shows that two in five (42%) of Singaporeans want PMDs banned altogether.

Three in ten (29%) disagree with the ban and the remaining three in ten (30%) are undecided. Older Singaporeans (aged 55 and above) are more averse to PMDs than younger Singaporeans (aged 18 to 24). Half (51%) of older Singaporeans want PMDs banned, contrasted with over a quarter (27%) of younger Singaporeans. Two thirds (66%) of Singaporeans think that PMDs should be restricted to people with mobility issues.

Overall three in five (60%) of Singaporeans would classify PMDs as dangerous. One in seven (14%) think they are safe, and the remaining quarter (25%) are undecided. When asked to rank modes of transport from most dangerous to least dangerous to pedestrians, electric scooters came up on top (49% ranked as most dangerous), ahead of cars (19%). This is followed by motorbikes (11%), electric bicycles (9%), skateboards (7%), kick scooters (3%) and pedal bicycles (2%).

The majority (73%) think that PMDs should be allowed on specified lanes, but few agree that they should be on footpaths (19%) or public roads (19%). Over one in seven (16%) think they should not be allowed anywhere.

The good news for those who aren’t fans of PMDs is that they aren’t that prevalent. Only one in twenty (6%) currently own a PMD. Men are three times more likely than women to own one. (9% vs. 3%).

Just create a PMD parking spot in a corner of your room. It can be integrated to form part of the decor. Even large motorbikes have now become showpieces.

It's only the old farts that want them banned. Why give a shit about their opinions because they're going to expire soon anyway.

Auto accidents in Singapore kill 120 people a year and they ban PMDs instead.

Have you ever seen a PMD that could take off a whole leg? That's what cars can do!

Weped PMDs are one of the best! If there is an agent in Singapore you should have a look at these works of art.

Phat scooters wheels are way too big consuming too much energy just rolling it plus small battery capacity. Strong wind may cause it to tumble when parked. But other than that, it's a great way to travel.
