hit the road on Monday for a three-month trial for Singapore Post mail deliveries.

The motorcycles, batteries, and charging and storage equipment come from Mo Batteries, a Singapore company that specialises in electric motorcycle fleet management. Mr Tom Streitberg, co-founder of Mo Batteries, explained that the company decided to use a centralised charging set-up – as opposed to charging the batteries at SingPost’s facility in Kallang – to reduce the complexity of the process. He said that this made it easier to roll out the trials while providing the highest level of safety during charging.

SingPost said that around 15 per cent of its motorcycle fleet is now electric. It also operates other vehicles, including vans, which are in the process of going electric. Besides SingPost, Mo Batteries will also be trialling its technology with security companies Prosegur and Certis, transport and delivery giant Grab, and statutory board Sentosa Development Corp.
