Improvement to the safety of electric bicycle usage in Singapore
In line with the government’s effort to promote a car-lite Singapore, personal mobility devices (PMDs) are seen to be the solution to the ‘last mile’ problem. To get from one place to another, riders can take the well-connected bus or MRT system in Singapore. However, once at the station or bus stop...
