Putrajaya (The Star/ANN) - Electric bicycles may be taken off the road in Malaysia if the Cabinet accepts a recommendation from the Transport Ministry.

Minister Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha said he will be presenting a paper during Friday's Cabinet meeting to recommend disallowing electric bicycles, citing safety reasons.
He said continuing to allow electric bicycles, which have battery-powered motors, could result in a higher risk of injury or death.
"Electric bicycles do not meet the performance specifications of motorcycles.
"It is more than a bicycle but less than a motorcycle," he told The Star.
While Kong acknowledged that electric bicycles were good for the environment, he stressed that the higher risk of death and injury from collision did not warrant their usage. |
