LIST: E-Bikes and E-Trikes Banned From Metro Manila Roads

(SPOT.ph) The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has officially banned the use of e-bikes, e-trikes, and other non-motorized conveyances on major roads across Metro Manila.

The regulation will take effect in April, with the Land Transportation Office (LTO) set to release official guidelines later today.

This decision is outlined in MMDA Regulation No. 24-022, which affects national, circumferential, and radial roads including major thoroughfares like EDSA, Roxas Boulevard, and Quezon Avenue, among others listed in the resolution.

MMDA’s ban comes in response to a rising number of road accidents involving e-vehicles, with 554 incidents recorded in 2023.

“Due to the proliferation of e-vehicles, the MMC deemed it imperative to regulate and penalize those who will traverse the national roads using such means of transportation,” MMDA Acting Chairman Atty. Don Artes said in a press conference.
