MMDA reiterates e-trikes, e-bikes ban on NCR national roads starting April 15

Starting April 15, tricycles, pushcarts, pedicabs, kuligligs, e-bikes, e-trikes, and light electric vehicles are banned on national roads in Metro Manila. 

Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) reiterated that such vehicles are also banned on circumferential and radial roads in compliance with the MMDA Regulation No.24-002 Series of 2024.

This is due to the increase in the number of light electric vehicles on the streets and road crash incidents involving them.

Violators will be penalized with a P2,500 fine, while the units will be confiscated and impounded if the driver is not registered and/or does not show a license.

MMDA said the following roads are covered by the ban: 

• Recto Avenue
