But they should not exceed 120cm in length and 70cm in width and 150cm in height. The total weight of the PMA together with the user should not exceed 300kg.submitted to the Ministry of Transport on Dec 14, 2023, the Active Mobility Advisory Panel said that in recent years, there have been rising concerns that able-bodied people have been misusing PMAs, particularly mobility scooters.
