On Monday (15 April), the SGRV FAN Facebook page posted a video compilation of several racing incidents involving e-bike riders.

The first recording shows three e-bike users zooming down an empty road, followed by another video of a rider travelling at a similarly high speed.

People were also seen watching along the sidelines and laughing at the rider.

In the next clip, another e-bike rider is seen flying down a narrower path, again with bystanders filming and watching the “race”.

A speed test screenshot states that the rider allegedly reached a maximum speed of 140km/h.

The third clip shows another two e-bike riders bolting down an empty road.

The final clip depicts two riders swiftly hurtling past the camera, showcasing the popularity of races within the e-bike community.

Many Facebook users called out the e-bike riders for their reckless behaviour.

Some cracked jokes, sarcastically remarking that the riders should show off their “talent” professionally.

Overall, most pointed out the dangers such activities could pose for pedestrians and other road users.

According to the Land Transport Authority (LTA), motorised mobility devices are only permitted to reach a maximum speed of 25km/hr.
