Accepted Answer

Micromobility Vehicles Are Permitted Only in Designated Areas

Micromobility vehicles are legally permitted for use exclusively in designated areas, which include recreational parks, dedicated lanes, or private premises. Their operation on public roads is strictly prohibited.
Restrictions on Public Road Usage

The use of micromobility vehicles on public roads is explicitly forbidden under the Road Vehicle (Prohibition of Use) (Amendment) Order 2021, effective from December 17, 2021. This regulation encompasses a range of devices such as e-scooters, hoverboards, monowheels, and Segways.
Potential Penalties for Violations

Individuals found operating unauthorised vehicles, including micromobility devices, on public roads face legal consequences. Prosecution under Section 54(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 can lead to penalties of up to RM1,000, imprisonment for up to three months, or a combination of both.
Enforcement and Reporting

The Melaka Road Transport Department (RTD) has stated its commitment to taking stern action against any violations of these regulations. The department encourages the public to report any observed non-compliance to the RTD or nearest authorities for further investigation and action.
