Starting April 15, e-bikes, e-trikes, and tricycles are no longer allowed on some national road in Metro Manila. That is based on the MMDA’s consultation with stakeholders at the same time developing the IRR in relation to it.

A fine of P2,500 will be imposed on those caught violators. While those who cannot show their license will have their e-vehicle impounded.

The ban aims to prevent the increasing number of accidents involving e-bikes. The MMDA also identified the national road where e-vehicles and tricycles are prohibited. Like in some parts of Metro Manila, Pasay, and Quezon City.

C1: Recto Avenue, C2: Pres. Quirino Avenue, C3: Araneta Avenue, C4: EDSA, C5: Katipunan/CP Garcia, C6: Southeast Metro Manila Expressway, R1: Roxas Boulevard, R2: Taft Avenue, R3: SLEX, R4: Shaw Boulevard, R5: Ortigas Avenue, R6: Magsaysay Blvd./Aurora Blvd., R7: Quezon Ave./Commonwealth Ave., R8: A. Bonifacio Ave., R9: Rizal Ave., R10: Del Pan/Marcos Highway/McArthur Highway, Elliptical Road, Mindanao Avenue, and Marcos Highway.

Only pedal vehicles will be allowed on roads with bike lanes such as EDSA and Commonwealth Ave.
