First, please check if the model of your e-scooter is listed by LTA as an UL2272 certified e-scooter model (“UL2272 Model”) in the list of UL2272 Models (PDF, 1MB). Please ensure that every device specification matches completely with the device(s) that you are intending to bring in. If your e-scooter model is found on the list of UL2272 Models, you may proceed to schedule an appointment with the E-scooter Inspection Centres (“EICs”).
You will be required to fill in and e-mail the relevant Registration Inspection application form(s) and supporting document(s) (PDF, 233kB) to the EICs. You may choose your choice of EIC shown in this list (PDF, 15kB). Please note that you may only arrange appointments via email. You should only submit the Registration Inspection application to the EIC after you have ensured that the model of your e-scooter is a UL2272 Model.
If your e-scooter model is not found on the list (i.e. it is not a UL2272 Model), you are required to have the e-scooter model listed as a UL2272 Model by LTA first. This includes any variant models of Recognised Models (for e.g. models that have a different maximum speed, battery capacity and other technical specifications that affect the UL2272 certification).
To do so, please write in to LTA at the following email address LTA_escooter_insp@lta.gov.sg with the details as listed out in Table 1 (PDF, 14kB). Please ensure that all required information and documents listed at Table 1 are submitted to facilitate LTA’s assessment.
If LTA acknowledges the model of the e-scooter as being UL2272 certified and lists the model as a UL2272 Model, you may proceed to schedule an inspection with one of the EICs by filling in and e-mailing the relevant Registration Inspection application form(s) and supporting document(s) to the EIC that you wish to have your e-scooter inspected at.
Only e-scooters that have passed the inspection and are certified will be registered by the EICs. The LTA-issued registration mark will be affixed by the personnel at the EICs on the day the e-scooters pass the inspection and retailers are required to fabricate and affix the Identification Mark no later than 3 calendar days after the registration of the device.
Key Documents
3) Registered e-scooters will be called up for mandatory Periodic Inspection (PI) before the end of every 2 years since their last inspection to ensure that the devices remain compliant with LTA's device criteria for use on public paths. The PI will be paid for by owners. Owners will receive a notification from LTA informing them to bring their e-scooters for inspection at any of the 9 EICs. Owners who fail to send their e-scooters for inspection by the specified deadline will have their e-scooters deregistered. More details can be found on OneMotoring.
