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.

They also support Singapore’s vision of a car-lite society by offering a green alternative to traditional transport.

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.

I was hesitant to spend this much on a folding bike, but the Ethereal Swift D8 Gen 2 has won me over. The dual disc brake system gives me peace of mind, and the Shimano Hyper-Glide 8 speed cassette makes shifting easy. My only minor complaint is that the seat could be slightly more cushioned.

I’ve been eyeing this bike for months, and I’m glad I finally pulled the trigger. The Ethereal Swift D8 Gen 2 is a beast! The Shimano Hyper-Glide 8 speed cassette makes shifting a breeze, and the dual disc brake system provides excellent stopping power. My only concern is whether the magnesium alloy frame will hold up to heavy use, but so far, it seems incredibly durable.

I’m not sure what to say… I was expecting a lot from this bike, but it exceeded my expectations! The magnesium alloy frame is surprisingly light and easy to maneuver. The Shimano Altus groupset makes shifting smooth and effortless. My only question is whether the brakes could be slightly more responsive.

This is the perfect bike for city living. It folds up small enough to fit in my apartment but rides like a full-sized bicycle. I absolutely love being able to zip around town on this thing!
