Singapore is intensifying its environmental sustainability efforts, and this will soon lead to the phasing out of motorcycles older than 20 years
According to Ride Apart, starting from June 30, 2028, older motorcycles that are not registered under the classic vehicle scheme or the revised vintage vehicle scheme will no longer be allowed on the roads.
Previously, a now-defunct incentive offered about €3,170 ($3,500 SGD, $2,640 USD) to owners who opted to scrap motorcycles registered before July 1, 2003. This initiative aimed to reduce air pollution and improve overall air quality.
Currently, there are approximately 27,000 vehicles eligible for the phase-out, with around 1,000 potentially qualifying for the conservation programs (Classic Vehicle Scheme and Revised Vintage Vehicle Scheme). While participation in these programs is voluntary for now, starting from July 1, 2028, motorcycles registered before July 1, 2003, will no longer be permitted to operate on Singapore’s streets.
