According to the Land Transport Authority (LTA), the answer is ‘no’. E-bikes are only allowed on cycling paths and roads.
Others pointed out that the camcar driver might be at fault.
This Facebook user pointed out that if the rider was able to slap the vehicle with his hands, the camcar had probably gotten too close to the white stop line.
