The pilot trial will be held on an approximately 3-kilometer-long cycle track section at Pak Shek Kok between University Station and the Science Park from May 23 to November 22.

Two main types of electric mobility devices - motorized personal mobility devices and power-assisted pedal cycles, will be covered in the pilot trial, according to the department.

The department said it aims to gather more operational experience on the use of e-mobility devices for short-distance commuting on a cycle track between a workplace and a transport hub.

Only registered trial participants with a permit issued by the department will be able to join the pilot trial under a one-off arrangement specifically for the pilot trial.

Citizens are reminded that the use of unregistered electric mobility devices without a permit or outside the designated location and time period specified in the permit may commit an offense under the Road Traffic Ordinance. Offenders are liable to a fine of HK$10,000 or imprisonment or may even lose their driving licenses.
