The rules and regulations set by the Land Transportation Authority (LTA) may seem a little suffocating for Electric Bicycle Riders to ride at ease. What people don’t realise is that there are a lot of Parks or Reservoirs in Singapore that are still available for an enjoyable ride!
Here are 5 Beautiful places that you could perhaps bring your E-Bikes for a ride!
East Coast Park
You probably would agree but East Coast Park might just be one of Singapore’s Favourite Beaches especially for family gatherings. This beach stretches along the southeastern coast of Singapore from Marine Parade to Bedok and Tampines.The 185-hectare (460-acre) East Coast Park is also the largest park in Singapore, and is built entirely on reclaimed land with a man-made beach, where swimming is possible.
Other interesting facts about this location is that you could just spend the rest of your day after a good ride by watching the aeroplanes that land or take off from the shores.
Rowers Bay Park
As the name suggests, Rower’s Bay Park name was derived from the reservoir’s popularity among kayaking and dragon-boat enthusiasts. It’s part of the first phase of the Round Island Route that will stretch for as long as 150km and would also mean that you would be able to cycle around the island!
In the meantime, you can just enjoy the beautiful scenery that this park offers – it’s one of the best lowkey places to catch one of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Amenities in the park like shelters, vending machines, a do-it-yourself bicycle repair station and toilets are also available for cyclists or those seeking reprieve from our tropical heat.
Bedok Reservoir Park
Located in the north of Bedok New Town, Bedok Reservoir Park is popular amongst joggers and water sports enthusiasts in the eastern part of Singapore. A converted sand quarry, the park surrounds the 88-hectare Bedok Reservoir.
You might want to relax after an enjoyable ride and enjoy the scenery from the benches that are conveniently placed throughout the park. Visitors can experience a refreshing sense of tranquility at the floating deck, situated near the Activity Lawn event site, which offers a spectacular view of the reservoir.
Woodlands Waterfront
Woodlands Waterfront is a 11-hectare scenic and tranquil coastal park that houses a large playground with a wide range of equipment and a 1.5-kilometre-long waterfront promenade, making it an ideal spot for recreational activities. This place is also where your phone signals might get confused whether you are in Singapore or Malaysia because you are really that close to Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
The undulating terrain of the park is also fitted with dedicated jogging and cycling tracks, providing exercise enthusiasts with both adventurous and challenging trails.
Marina Bay
For those that enjoy the city landscape of Singapore, this location would be best suited for you. Riding around Marina Bay exposes you to stunning views of the iconic skyline. We’d recommend starting this 11-kilometre cycling journey at sunrise or sunset as it’s one of the best places to see the city bathed in glorious golden hues.
Begin at Marina Bay Sands before wheeling across the Helix Bridge, continuing towards the Esplanade and Merlion. Be careful not to speed your way through the Marina Bay Waterfront as it can get quite busy with crowds.
Before You Go
These are only a few of the places that you could visit. There are many other parks that you could explore on NParks Website to see which Parks are legal or illegal for E-Bike riding. One thing to always take note when bringing your E-Bike out is to always watch what path you are on. Electric Bicycles are only allowed on Shared Paths or Cycling Paths. We understand that sometimes you may not even notice that the path you are on is a footpath or a Pedestrian path only hence why we advise that you stay aware of your surroundings at all times to be safe from that $2,000 fine.
Love the idea of exploring Singapore on e-bikes! I’ve been to East Coast Park and Woodlands Waterfront before, but I’d love to try out the other locations mentioned. The safety reminder is crucial, though – it’s easy to get carried away with the scenery and forget about our surroundings!

Singapore has really come a long way in terms of its cycling infrastructure! The scenic views at Bedok Reservoir Park are stunning, and I can imagine the e-bike rides would be so much fun. Thanks for sharing this list!
This blog is really helpful for e-bike riders! I love how it goes beyond just listing places and gives useful details about the amenities at each park, like bike repair stations and scenic spots to relax. It also makes the idea of exploring Singapore by e-bike so much more accessible—you can really enjoy nature and the city at your own pace, which is great for families or solo riders alike. East Coast Park and Marina Bay have always been my favourites, but now I’m tempted to visit Rower’s Bay Park just to catch that sunrise!
I also appreciate the strong reminders about safety and rules. The advice to always pay attention to what kind of path you’re on is super practical. Even experienced riders can get tripped up by confusing signs, so the encouragement to check NParks or look out for shared paths is spot on. All in all, this post really shows that e-biking can be a responsible, fun, and beautiful way to see Singapore.
It’s good that the post highlights different parks, but honestly, aren’t these routes getting a bit crowded lately? Especially at peak hours, it can feel unsafe with so many bikes, joggers, and families all over the place. How do you actually get to enjoy the ride without worrying about accidents or bumping into others?
You make a fair point, Manjit. I usually go early in the morning or on weekdays when it’s quieter. Maybe the blog could have mentioned timing tips to help riders avoid crowds, but I still think it gives a good starting point for people keen to try e-biking. As long as we’re considerate while riding, it’s still a great experience.
Yup, going during off-peak hours does help. I just wish there were even more dedicated e-bike tracks. Some parks get too packed, but it’s still worth exploring as long we watch out for others.
I agree the timing matters a lot. Early mornings are best if you want less people around. Maybe one day there’ll be more e-bike specific trails!
I ride at Woodlands Waterfront and it can get crowded, but it’s usually manageable as long as cyclists keep left and use their bells. The crowd is really only a problem during public holidays.
The post makes it sound easy, but what about the parking situation for e-bikes at these parks? Are there secure spots to lock up your bike if you want to take a break? Otherwise it feels risky to leave your e-bike unattended.
That’s a good question, Andrew! East Coast Park and Marina Bay do have some bike racks near the main hotspots, but it’s always best to bring your own lock and maybe find a spot within sight. I agree the post should mention this more, but planning ahead usually keeps things safe.
I wish there were more secure parking too, like those with CCTV or security in busy areas. For now, I just avoid leaving my e-bike for long or ask a friend to watch it.
True, better to be safe than sorry. Maybe more info about safe parking would help new riders so they can relax during their outings.
I’ve seen a lot of people just park right next to where they’re hanging out, like the picnic areas, but sometimes it blocks the path for others. Hopefully parks can improve the facilities soon.
Hi all, just a quick moderator note: please keep the discussion on the topic of e-bike rides and experiences at the recommended parks. If you have suggestions for additional legal routes or want to discuss safety concerns, that’s totally welcome!
I didn’t know Rower’s Bay Park was so popular for cycling, it sounds very peaceful! I always worry about the rules so the reminder to check which paths are allowed is very useful, thanks.
Are there any places on this list where e-bikes are not allowed at certain times or during events? Just want to avoid any surprises when planning a ride.
Great question, Wei Ling! Some areas like Marina Bay or East Coast Park may occasionally have events that limit or divert cycling paths, especially on weekends or public holidays. We recommend checking NParks’ and the venue’s updates before heading out to stay informed about any temporary restrictions.
Marina Bay during sunset on an e-bike sounds like a dream! Appreciate the tip about watching the path, the fines are no joke in Singapore.
