Is a ride-on electric suitcase legal in Singapore?
Yes, ride-on electric suitcases are legal to use in Singapore, but only if they follow the rules set by local laws and regulations. Singapore has strict guidelines for all types of personal mobility devices. Before riding an electric suitcase in public areas, it’s important to understand what’s allowed, where you can ride, and how your device fits into the system.
Singapore Rules & Code of Conduct
In Singapore, where you ride matters just as much as what you ride. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) allows motorized personal transport devices in certain areas, but only if they meet specific standards.
Here are the three main types of public paths:
- Footpaths: for walking and light mobility use
- Cycling paths: shared with bicycles and approved devices
- Roads: only for motor vehicles and certain approved transport modes
To be allowed on public paths, a device must follow these technical standards:
- Maximum speed: 25 km/h
- Maximum weight: 20 kg
- Maximum width: 70 cm
These limits help make sure all riders, walkers, and other users stay safe on shared paths. Devices that go beyond these limits are not allowed on public footpaths or cycling paths. Riders are also expected to give way to pedestrians, stay in control, and avoid reckless behavior.
What is the Active Mobility Act (AMA)?
The Active Mobility Act (AMA) is the law that controls how personal and small electric transport devices can be used in Singapore. The AMA defines different types of mobility devices and where each type can be used.
Here are the four main categories under the AMA:
- Personal Mobility Devices (PMDs): such as e-scooters and hoverboards
- Power-Assisted Bicycles (PABs): bicycles with electric motors
- Mobility Aids: for seniors or people with mobility needs
- Motorized Wheelchairs: approved for use on all paths
Each category follows different rules for speed, size, and path use. Your device must match one of these categories to be used legally in public spaces.
Is Motorized Suitcase® MS1 Classified as a PMD under the AMA?
To know where and how the Motorized Suitcase® MS1 can be used, we need to check if it fits the PMD (Personal Mobility Device) category under the AMA.
Here’s how the Motorized Suitcase® MS1 compares with PMD standards:
Requirement | Motorized Suitcase® MS1 Specification |
Max Speed | 13 km/h |
Max Weight | 8.5 kg |
Max Width | 55 cm |
Seating | You can sit and ride it, but there’s no fixed seat |
Battery Safety | Battery has passed safety tests (not UL2272 certified) |
Based on these features, the Motorized Suitcase® MS1 electric suitcase matches the basic size and speed limits of a PMD. While it may not have formal UL2272 certification, its compact design and moderate speed make it a good fit for short-distance personal travel, as long as it's used responsibly and in the right places.
Where can I ride in my electric suitcase in Singapore?
In Singapore, electric ride-on suitcases like the Motorized Suitcase® MS1 are treated as personal mobility devices (PMDs). That means you can't ride them anywhere you want. There are clear rules about where and how you can ride. Understanding the local path system is the key to riding safely and legally.
PMD User Requirements You Need to Know
Before riding a PMD in public, all users must follow a few basic requirements set by the Land Transport Authority:
- You must be at least 16 years old to ride unsupervised
- Always give way to pedestrians and slow down near others
- Keep your speed under control — The max allowed is 25 km/h
- Do not use PMDs on roads or expressways
- Riding on footpaths is no longer allowed since 2020 (for safety reasons)
- Use only on approved shared paths like park connectors or cycling paths
Helmets are not required by law, but highly recommended. Riders should also stay alert, avoid using phones while riding, and always follow local signs and rules.
Which road allows electric suitcases?
In general, PMDs are not allowed on roads in Singapore. The only places where riding is allowed are:
- Cycling paths
- Park Connector Networks (PCNs)
- Shared paths (where bicycles and pedestrians are both allowed)
You cannot ride on:
- Footpaths
- Main roads or car lanes
- Expressways or tunnels
Always look for signs that show whether PMDs are allowed. If there’s no clear sign, it’s best to avoid riding and walk the suitcase instead.
Can I ride motorized suitcase® MS1 on cycling paths?
Yes. As long as your Motorized Suitcase® MS1 electric suitcase meets the PMD standards which it does in size, weight, and speed, it can be used on cycling paths and park connectors.
The Motorized Suitcase® MS1 electric suitcase rides at a safe speed of 13 km/h, weighs 8.5 kg, and is compact enough for shared paths. Its quiet electric motor and low riding position make it suitable for smooth, open paths where you can ride without disturbing others.

Is it allowed to use a ride-on electric suitcase at airports?
Yes, you can bring a ride-on electric suitcase like the Motorized Suitcase® MS1 to the airport, but there are important rules to follow. Different airports and airlines have their own regulations, especially for battery-powered luggage. These rules cover where you can use the electric suitcase in the airport, whether you can take it on a plane, and how to check it in safely. Let’s look at what you need to know about carrying, riding, and checking in an electric suitcase at Singapore airports.
Are ride-on electric suitcases in Singapore approved?

Can I ride an electric suitcase in Singapore Airports?
No, riding an electric suitcase is not allowed inside Singapore Changi Airport. This airport has strict rules about using personal mobility devices (PMDs) for safety reasons.
That said, you can still bring your electric suitcase into the terminal and use it like a regular bag, by pulling it or pushing it manually. Many users choose to ride the electric suitcase outside the airport, such as on cycling paths or car drop-off points, then switch to pulling mode once inside the terminal. This helps you stay within airport rules and avoid getting stopped by staff.
