We’ve been seeing a number of videos concerning e-bikes lately and as anticipated, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) was able to notice the trend and has expressed concern.
As reported by ABS-CBN News, electric vehicles are covered by the Land Transportation Code according to LTO and must be registered and used with a license. Sellers, even buyers, of e-bikes should know about it, the agency added.
Just this week, the agency was able to confiscate e-bikes plying along EDSA, Commonwealth Avenue and main thoroughfares of Pasay City. LTO is also gathering a list of e-bike sellers to have a dialog with them.
If you’re planning on getting one, think twice for now as we let concerned agencies take a look into the issue.
Hindi daw motorized vehicle category ng ebike kaya bawal sa main roads….tanong lang bakit ang bisikleta allowed?
In the same manner, bakit hindi allowed ang motorized ATV sa main roads?
paano pa sa inspection part? tingin ba nila eh aabot ng lto ang pobreng ebike? dapat sa barangay na lang i-register ang ebikes.
Another stupid law only in the Philippines. Load of Crap!
Almost all ebikers wants to comply for registration to lto BUT HOW CAN THEY DO IT?!!! IF LTO IS NOT YET REALISING ANY MEMO AS PER ATTY VERA CRUZ,AND YET THEY ARE ALREADY IMPOUNDING EBIKES ON THE ROAD EVEN IN SECONDARY ROADS AND THATS TOTAL BULLSHIT
ENFORCERS DOES NOT HAVE ANY ORDER OR MEMOS BUT INSISTING THE NEWS THEY’VE GOT FROM MAINSTREAMS NEWS THAT INTERVIEWED ALMORA OF LTO.
THEN WHO IS TELLING THE TRUTH
pure BS, LTO is now pressured by car companies and oil companies on this, its all about the money baby
Dapat nga naglabas muna sila ng Implementing Rules and Regulation.. bigla na lang sila nanghuli tapos naka-impound pa e-bike namin 2350 ang total ng violations namin grabe naman yun.
So what if the ebike that i own is 2nd hand? And wala nang receipt? Anong gagawin? This is my only mode of transportation para makatipid ng pang trike papasok sa trabaho ko. And where to find this in fine print? Provincial areas ba affected? ang lapit lapit lang ng work ko sa bahay ko pero nakakatipid ako dahil dito eh. Ano ba yan
Hoax lang yung nareport sa ABS-CBN na kailangan na ng license at rehistro ng mga ebike.. Kakagaling lang ng mga dealer doon dahil nga sa balita at wala naman inilabas na bagong Memo according kay Exec. Director Atty. Romeo Vera Cruz..
Ebike needs no registration basta nagcocomply sa 721-2006 memo ang tanong ni repeal na kaya itong memo na ito at meron na bago batas?
