<p>MANILA - The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is expecting the Metro Manila Council to approve next week proposed penalties on e-bikes and e-tricycles found using national roads.</p><p>This follows a proposal from the MMDA aimed at regulating these vehicles.</p><p>“Nagkaroon naman po kami ng TWG meeting last week, and halos lahat naman po ay in unison, unanimous po na gusto talagang magkaroon ng tamang regulasyon dito, kasama na ang DOTr, LTO and LTFRB,” MMDA Director for Traffic Enforcement Group Atty. Victor Nunez said in a public briefing.</p><p>Nunez added that while there is already an administrative order released by the Land Transportation Office in 2021 on guidelines for e-vehicles – e-bikes, e-motorcycles, e-trikes, it did not specify either penalties or fines.</p><div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/2/20/sang-ayon-ka-bang-iparehistro-ang-mga-e-bike-at-e-trike-116">Sang-ayon ka bang iparehistro ang mga e-bike at e-trike?</a></div><p>“Iyon po ang problema kasi there’s no definitive fine for them. Nakalagay lang kung saan sila puwedeng dumaan at sino ang puwedeng magdala ng lisensiya kapag ang e-bike mo or e-trike may maximum speed level – iyon lang po ang policy na iyon,” Nunez said.</p><p>The MMDA earlier said that it is working with the LTO for the mandatory registration these vehicles as well requiring drivers to secure a license. </p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO</strong></div><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603" data-ivs-spid="3001339" data-ivs-vid="2961401"></ivs-player></div><script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js"></script>
