The Transport Centre confirmed that the new regulations are part of its efforts to diversify transport modes and build an integrated and sustainable transport system. Bicycles and e-bikes are one of the first and last mile services that connect bus stops, shopping centers, services and residential areas, facilitating the integration of transportation networks, allowing community members to quickly reach their destinations at extremely low cost, It added.
In March, Abu Dhabi issued new regulations on the use of bicycles, e-bikes and other micro-mobility devices in the emirate. Cyclists and users of micro mobile devices are only allowed to use lanes and roads dedicated to bicycles. Additionally, riders are required to wear protective helmets and reflective clothing at night and to park their bikes only in designated areas.
