In Singapore, where urban mobility and sustainability go hand in hand, electric bicycles (e-bikes) have become an increasingly popular mode of transportation. However, with this rise in popularity comes the need for strict regulations to ensure public safety and road compliance. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has established clear guidelines for e-bikes, requiring all models to meet specific safety and performance standards before they can be legally ridden on public roads. LTA-approved e-bikes must adhere to key specifications, including a maximum motor power output of 250W and a speed limit of 25 km/h when powered. Additionally, their batteries must be UL2272-certified to minimize fire risks—a critical safety measure in Singapore’s densely populated urban environment. By choosing an LTA-approved e-bike from a trusted provider like Eko Life, riders can enjoy the convenience and eco-friendliness of electric cycling while staying fully compliant with national regulations.
The consequences of riding a non-compliant e-bike in Singapore can be severe, ranging from hefty fines to the confiscation of the vehicle. First-time offenders caught using illegal or modified e-bikes may face fines of up to $1,000, while repeat offenders risk penalties of up to $5,000 and even imprisonment. Beyond legal repercussions, uncertified e-bikes pose significant safety hazards, including battery fires, brake failures, and instability at high speeds. These risks not only endanger the rider but also pedestrians and other road users. At Eko Life, we prioritize safety and compliance by offering a curated selection of LTA-approved e-bikes that undergo rigorous quality checks. Our models are designed for reliability, efficiency, and peace of mind, ensuring that riders can navigate Singapore’s streets without worry.
Choosing an LTA-approved e-bike isn’t just about avoiding penalties—it’s about contributing to a safer, more sustainable future for urban mobility. Certified e-bikes are engineered to balance performance and safety, providing a smooth and controlled riding experience. They also support Singapore’s vision of a car-lite society by offering a green alternative to traditional transport. Eko Life is committed to promoting responsible riding habits, which is why we educate our customers on the importance of LTA compliance and proper e-bike maintenance. From daily commuters to weekend explorers, riders who opt for LTA-approved e-bikes can enjoy the full benefits of electric cycling while upholding the highest standards of safety and legality.
By investing in an LTA-approved e-bike from a reputable dealer like Eko Life, you’re not just purchasing a vehicle—you’re making a smart, long-term choice for hassle-free and sustainable transportation in Singapore. Whether you’re looking for an efficient way to beat traffic, reduce your carbon footprint, or simply enjoy the freedom of two-wheeled travel, an LTA-certified e-bike is the safest and most reliable option available.

What’s the trade-off between the driving range and the weight of this e-wheelchair? I’m interested in knowing how the heavier batteries affect the wheelchair’s performance.
Lance Lee –
Thank you for reaching out, Noraida. The eDegree EW2 Carbon Light Pro Electric Wheelchair features a 24V 12Ah lithium battery that provides a driving range of 25-30km. Although heavier batteries typically offer increased driving range, they can also affect the wheelchair’s weight and overall portability. In this case, the weight of the eDegree EW2 Carbon Light Pro Electric Wheelchair is 17kg, which is still relatively lightweight and easy to maneuver. However, if you prioritize a longer driving range, you may want to consider a slightly heavier version with a larger battery. We also have customers with similar needs who prefer to carry a charged backup battery to extend their range, if you’d like to discuss further feel free to reply!

I’ve been thinking about getting an extra battery pack for my e-wheelchair. Would it still void my warranty if I install it myself? And how do I ensure that the battery pack is compatible with my existing wheelchair?
Marcus Tan –
Thank you for your question, Lok Weng Ng. Firstly, I would like to assure you that all our products, including the eDegree EW2 Carbon Light Pro Electric Wheelchair, come with a manufacturer-backed warranty. Installing an extra battery pack yourself may void the warranty if done incorrectly, which is why we recommend contacting our authorized service centers or the manufacturer directly for assistance. They will be able to ensure that the battery pack is compatible with your existing wheelchair and installed correctly. Additionally, please refer to your user manual for any specific guidelines on battery upgrades. If you’re unsure about the process or have any concerns, feel free to reach out to us and we’ll be happy to assist you further.

I was a bit worried about the waterproof rating of IP6X, but it’s held up great despite me getting caught in a surprise rain shower one day. The anti-bacterial cushion is also a great feature, as I’m very particular about keeping my wheelchair clean.

I had a bit of trouble assembling the e-wheelchair, especially the brakes. But once I got it figured out, it’s been running smoothly. I do wish they provided more instructional materials, though.

I love the compact size of this e-wheelchair! It fits perfectly in my trunk and I can take it with me on road trips. The only thing I wish they could improve is the battery life, as I’ve had a few instances where the wheelchair died on me suddenly.
Morgan Yeoh –
I just loved the lightweight design of this e-wheelchair. It’s so easy to maneuver around and I can take it with me wherever I go. The 360° LCD joystick controller is also very responsive and intuitive to use. Overall, I’m very satisfied with my purchase.

Why no specifications about the wheelchair?
Battery specification is BATTERY, not sheelchair

What drew me to the EC8002 Carbon Electric Wheelchair was its sleek design and compact size. It’s perfect for navigating through crowded public spaces or storing in my car. The only thing I’m not sure about is how well it would perform on rough terrain – does anyone know if it can handle bumpy sidewalks?
Marcus Tan –
Thank you for sharing your experience with the EC8002 Carbon Electric Wheelchair, Alexis! We’re glad to hear that you appreciate its sleek design and compact size. Regarding your concern about rough terrain, our product description does mention anti-wheel technology as one of the safety features. While it’s designed for smooth maneuverability, it’s possible that the wheelchair might still perform well on slightly bumpy sidewalks. However, we can’t guarantee its performance on very rough or uneven surfaces. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

I’ve been using the EC8002 Carbon Electric Wheelchair for a few weeks now and I’m thoroughly enjoying it! The ABS brakes are reassuring, especially when driving in hilly areas. My only minor gripe is that the anti-wheel technology can be a bit finicky – sometimes it takes me a few tries to get the wheelchair to move smoothly.
Evelyn Wong –
I was blown away by the speed and maneuverability of the EC8002 Carbon Electric Wheelchair! The 360° LCD joystick controller is so intuitive, making it easy to navigate through tight spaces. The only minor complaint I have is that the seat could be a bit more cushioned for longer drives.
Melissa Wong –
I’m so glad I invested in the EC8002 Carbon Electric Wheelchair – it’s been a game-changer for my daily commute. The 25-30km driving range is more than enough for me, and the electromagnetic brake system gives me peace of mind. My only suggestion would be to include a carrying strap or handle for easier transport.
Diana Leong –
I’m still on the fence about purchasing the EC8002 Carbon Electric Wheelchair – can someone tell me more about its performance on inclines? Does it have a specific speed limit when going uphill?
Michelle Chong –
Thank you for reaching out about your concerns with purchasing the EC8002 Carbon Electric Wheelchair! I understand that you’re looking for more information on its performance on inclines. According to our product description, this wheelchair has a max loading of 150kg and features an electromagnetic brake system, which suggests it should handle uphill terrain decently well. However, I’m not entirely sure about the specific speed limit when going uphill. If you’d like, I can try contacting the manufacturer for more information on that.

I’ve had my EC8002 Carbon Electric Wheelchair for a few months now and I’m impressed with its durability and energy efficiency. The 24V 12Ah lithium battery lasts longer than expected, and the carbon fiber frame feels sturdy. However, I do wish there was a way to adjust the armrests for a more comfortable fit.
