News & Reviews:   PDRM

Late last year, PDRM looked into banning e-scooters from the roads in Malaysia. While it's not a full ban of e-scooters, the authorities confirmed that you can only use them in gazetted areas. Of course, some stubborn users refuse to comply, and the government is ready to start taking legal action.

Last week, PDRM declared that e-scooters would no longer be allowed on the roads. But what vehicles would be considered micromobility vehicles or e-scooters? What kind of regulations can users expect? The Personal Electric Vehicle Association (PEV Malaysia) decided to meet with the authorities to find out.
