All fcked by the stupid MCA transport minister last year. He proposed to ban all electric bicycle on the road due to safety when so many people don't even allow their children ride a normal bicycle on the road. Now, if there is something really stated in the law, then I have to waste time and money to go through MIROS (provided they accept), then Puspakom then JPJ and hope not including SIRIM and etc. Maybe need to register a company to get started. When things become so complicated and more complicated as time passed, The fatality rate still maintain high. I'm wondering if their main purpose is to make more money or something else.
Yup, probably you will need to go through all those departments one by one, at the same time probably have to get permits, pay fees and maybe as you mentioned go to Sirim for safety test and more money to pay.....
Just for example, the latest smart TV. To make it legal to be sold in Bolihland, we first have to send to Sirim for safety test. Being a smart TV, we have to get wireless license also and the latest being implemented, we have to send for energy efficient test also. Imagine all those cost just to get the TV certified for sales.....

what i heard previously...
1. any motorized vehicle (scooter, bicycle, tricycle, segway) powered by electric is banned on the road...maybe due to no engine noise to alert other road user.
2. the electric bicycle sold now is for leisure ONLY and not for road usage (maybe illegally imported)...but can find segway for rent in langkawi (leisure)... same case as ATV, not for on the road usage...
so, if yours is for personal usage, i don't see any issue with it.... just don't get caught by some dumb 'men in uniform' that don't know the law..
1. What about EV car then?
2. My friend has one so he uses in his taman only, to go to sundry shop.....
My friend got stop by JPJ, insist his lights are HID, but they were normal halogens only....
