Is there any difference between PMD vs PAB?

Yes. PMD stands for Personal Mobility Devices. Vehicles such as unicycles, hoverboards, and electric scooters belong to this classification. Currently, only regulations have been proposed to LTA and are not in force yet.

On the other hand, PAB refers to Personal Assisted Bikes. This refers to electric bikes. Regulations applicable to PAB are currently in force. All PAB are required to be checked and approved by LTA. Those that satisfy LTA regulations will be affixed with a blue seal. More details can be found here

If a seller claims that a PAB is LTA approved, you can verify this by looking out for the blue seal affixed by LTA. Do note that for PMD, there is no seal yet as regulations applicable to PMD are not in force.

At the time of this announcement, the vast majority of electric scooter brands in Singapore are not UL2272 certified.

Users of PMDs who own non-UL2272 certified devices can continue to use them until 30 June 2020. From 1st January 2021, only UL2272 certified devices can be used legally.
