The Seat brand has introduced the 5.3bhp MO 50 eScooter as the third model in its current MO all-electric scooter lineup.
Seat spearheads the transformation of urban mobility with the launch of three new electric scooters as part of the MO series.
From 1 January 2020, those caught riding e-scooters on footpaths can be fined up to $2,000, jailed for up to three months, or both.
A $7 million grant has been introduced to help food delivery riders replace their electric scooters, after the Government banned the devices from footpaths.
The eScooter concept opens Seat's process of becoming a mobility services provider that goes beyond just manufacturing vehicles.
The three major food delivery companies in Singapore said they have measures in place to ensure their riders use PMDs that are certified safe.
Grab has been making arrangements to park and rent out personal mobility devices on small private properties, residents have raised concerns over safety.
The Land Transport Authority's MyTransport.SG app may soon allow users to report errant Personal Mobility Device users.
The 14 firms vying for the LTA licence include existing players, such as local start-ups Neuron Mobility and Telepod, as well as United States-based Lime.
Owners of e-scooters can register their devices at the Land Transport Authority's website or any SingPost post office from 2 January.
Personal mobility device sharing operators will be restricted to small-scale operations when licence applications begin in January next year.

The new Seat eXS Powered by Segway is a perfect micro-mobility solution for users who want to get around the city in an efficient and sustainable way.
Motorised personal mobility devices such as e-scooters may soon have to conform to a safety standard, given the fire and electrical hazards they can pose.
The recommendations include lowering the speed limit on footpaths for personal mobility device users and cyclists from 15km/h to 10km/h.
Auxiliary police officers will also educate the public on the Active Mobility Act and help deter offenders from turning violent.
Personal mobility device users have been seen openly flouting the law in Geylang, ahead of stiffer penalties from 15th Jan.
The stiffer penalties for PMD users caught riding on roads is a timely move but Singapore needs to step up public education and tighten regulations.
Under the new penalty regime, the current composition sum of $100 will be increased to $300 and $500 for first-time offenders who ride on local and major roads.
A total of 50 e-scooters and 20 bikes will be available for rent across six parking zones within the Science Park area.
