Next, Baey also confirmed that there would be a certification requirement for the usage of mobility scooters, as recommended by AMAP. Moving forward, only users who are certified to have relevant medical needs, such as walking difficulties, would be allowed to use mobility scooters. "We will provide a transition period to give users ample time to obtain certification," Baey said. "There is no need for users to rush to obtain certification. Enforcement officers will also exercise discretion on the ground." PMAs will also see an update in dimension restrictions when on public paths - they should not exceed a width of 70cm, a length of 120cm, a height of 150cm and a laden weight of 300kg. Baey clarified that they are aware of the "small proportion" of users that require PMAs of a larger size and that enforcement officers will exercise discretion. However, these over-sized devices will not be allowed on board public transport, he said.
