3B.—(1) For the purposes of the definition of “non‑compliant power‑assisted bicycle” in section 2(1) of the Act, a 2015 power‑assisted bicycle is a non‑compliant power‑assisted bicycle if it does not comply with any of the following requirements which are prescribed for all 2015 power‑assisted bicycles generally:| (a) | the unladen weight of the PAB does not exceed 20 kilograms; | | (b) | the width of the PAB does not exceed 700 millimetres; | | (c) | the aggregate maximum power output rating of the electric motor of the PAB does not exceed 200 watts; | | (d) | the maximum speed of the PAB does not exceed 25 km/h when solely propelled by its electric motor; | | (e) | the electric motor of the PAB is designed so as —| (i) | to stop providing further power assistance when the PAB attains a speed of 25 km/h or more; and | | (ii) | to reduce and stop providing power assistance when the rider of the PAB stops pedalling; |
| | (f) | the PAB is affixed with a registration number plate that conforms to the requirements in rule 11(2) of the Road Traffic (Registration of Power‑Assisted Bicycles) Rules 2017 (G.N. No. S 451/2017). |
(2) For the purposes of the definition of “non‑compliant power‑assisted bicycle” in section 2(1) of the Act, a 2016 power‑assisted bicycle is a non‑compliant power‑assisted bicycle if it does not comply with any of the following requirements which are prescribed for all 2016 power‑assisted bicycles generally:| (a) | the unladen weight of the PAB does not exceed 20 kilograms; | | (b) | the width of the PAB does not exceed 700 millimetres; | | (c) | insofar as the power of the electric motor of the PAB is concerned —| (i) | the aggregate maximum power output rating of the electric motor does not exceed 200 watts; or | | (ii) | where the aggregate maximum power output rating of the electric motor exceeds 200 watts, the maximum continuous rated power of the electric motor does not exceed 250 watts; |
| | (d) | the maximum speed of the PAB does not exceed 25 km/h when solely propelled by its electric motor if the aggregate maximum power output rating of its electric motor does not exceed 200 watts; | | (e) | the electric motor of the PAB is designed so as —| (i) | to stop providing further power assistance when the PAB attains a speed of 25 km/h or more; and | | (ii) | to reduce and stop providing power assistance when the rider of the PAB stops pedalling; |
| | (f) | the PAB conforms to the standard EN 15194 if its electric motor satisfies sub‑paragraph (c)(ii); | | (g) | for a PAB which conforms to the standard EN 15194, the electric motor of the PAB is also designed so as to progressively reduce power assistance as the speed of the PAB approaches —| (i) | the speed of 25 km/h; or | | (ii) | the speed at which its electric motor stops providing power assistance, |
| | (h) | the PAB is affixed with a registration number plate that conforms to the requirements in rule 11(2) of the Road Traffic (Registration of Power‑Assisted Bicycles) Rules 2017; | | (i) | for a PAB which conforms to the standard EN 15194, the PAB is legibly and permanently marked with the following information:| (i) | a successive frame number; | | (ii) | the name of the manufacturer of the PAB or the manufacturer’s representative; | | (iii) | the words “EN 14764” and “EPAC”; | | (iv) | the words “According to EN 15194:” which are followed by words that specify the following:| (A) | the speed, in km/h, at which the PAB’s electric motor stops providing power assistance; | | (B) | the maximum continuous rated power, in watts, of the PAB’s electric motor. |
|
|
|
(3) For the purposes of the definition of “non‑compliant power‑assisted bicycle” in section 2(1) of the Act, any other power‑assisted bicycle which is neither a 2015 power‑assisted bicycle nor a 2016 power‑assisted bicycle is a non‑compliant power‑assisted bicycle if it does not comply with any of the following requirements which are prescribed for all these other power‑assisted bicycles generally:| (a) | the unladen weight of the PAB does not exceed 20 kilograms; | | (b) | the width of the PAB does not exceed 700 millimetres; | | (c) | the maximum continuous rated power of the electric motor of the PAB does not exceed 250 watts; | | (d) | the maximum speed of the PAB does not exceed 25 km/h when solely propelled by its electric motor; | | (e) | the electric motor of the PAB is designed so as —| (i) | to stop providing further power assistance when the PAB attains a speed of 25 km/h or more; | | (ii) | to reduce and stop providing power assistance when the rider of the PAB stops pedalling; and | | (iii) | to progressively reduce power assistance as the speed of the PAB approaches the speed of 25 km/h or the speed at which the PAB’s electric motor stops providing power assistance, whichever is lower; |
| | (f) | the PAB is affixed with a registration number plate that conforms to the requirements in rule 11(2) of the Road Traffic (Registration of Power‑Assisted Bicycles) Rules 2017; | | (g) | the PAB conforms to the standard EN 15194; | | (h) | the PAB is legibly and permanently marked with the following information:| (i) | a successive frame number; | | (ii) | the name of the manufacturer of the PAB or the manufacturer’s representative; | | (iii) | the words “EN 14764” and “EPAC”; | | (iv) | the words “According to EN 15194:” which are followed by words that specify the following:| (A) | the speed, in km/h, at which the PAB’s electric motor stops providing power assistance; | | (B) | the maximum continuous rated power, in watts, of the PAB’s electric motor. |
