BikeRegister vs LTA Bicycle Registration

Compare features and find the best bike registration service for you

Singapore's Land Transport Authority introduced mandatory registration for e-bikes and personal mobility devices in 2018, assigning each a unique registration number on a government-issue licence plate. The system is enforced by LTA wardens and police across the city-state.

LTA registration covers only motorized devices — conventional bicycles are not required to register, leaving millions of regular cyclists without official ownership documentation. BikeGuard fills this gap with free, voluntary registration in English and Chinese, open to all bike types and accessible via smartphone.
