Since August 2017, the Land Transport Authority announced that electric bicycle owners will have to register their personal mobility (i.e. bicycles and others alike) vehicles between Aug 14 and Jan 31, 2018 and install number plates, with sealing and registration to be done by the individual. Since then, if the unregistered PAB already has an LTA orange seal, a registration is only needed. Alternatively, if a registered PAB is bought from a retailer, only a transfer the registration to the individual's name is needed.
