What happens to non-compliant personal mobility devices (PMDs) seized by the Land Transport Authority's (LTA) active mobility enforcement officers?
They are crushed and scrapped, as shown in a video shared by the agency on Oct 16.
In a TikTok posted on Friday (Oct 16), LTA warned members of the public against using non-complaint PMDs with a video showing what happens to the devices once they have been sent "up lorry".
The video shows seized PMDs taken to a scrapyard where metal frames of such devices are sent for crushing.
"Still training to be limitless on our paths? That season's over. Know your device's limit, or your non-compliant PMD might just end up here," according to the caption.
In a previous video posted on Thursday, LTA explained that each device is taken apart so that their materials can be disposed of properly.
For example, batteries will need to be removed and placed in salt water to safely discharge its energy. This process is known to short-circuit the battery, causing it to discharge rapidly.
Removed batteries are placed in saltwater to discharge its stored energy before safe disposal.
Meanwhile, the different types of metals used on the devices are taken apart and separated, while connecting cables are removed. During this process, rubber parts, plastics and waste materials are also removed and sorted accordingly.
The metal frames of such devices are then sent for crushing, LTA said. The authority reminded active mobility device users to only use compliant devices as non-compliant devices "might just end up" being crushed in the scrapyard.
According to LTA, active mobility enforcement officers detected a total of 503 offences and impounded 70 devices during enforcement operations in September.

陆路交通管理局 (LTA) 的主动出行执法人员查获的不合规个人代步工具 (PMD) 会如何处理？
正如该机构 10 月 16 日分享的一段视频所示，它们被压碎并报废。
10 月 16 日星期五，陆路交通管理局 (LTA) 在 TikTok 上发布了一段视频，警告公众不要使用不合规的个人移动设备 (PMD)，视频中展示了这些设备被“送上卡车”后会发生什么。
视频显示，缴获的个人移动设备被运往废品场，这些设备的金属框架将被送去粉碎。
“还在训练自己无所不能吗？那个时代已经结束了。了解你设备的极限，否则你那不合规的PMD最终可能会落得如此下场。”根据图片说明。
在周四发布的一段视频中，陆路交通管理局解释说，每个设备都会被拆解，以便妥善处理其材料。
例如，电池需要取出并放入盐水中才能安全放电。但众所周知，这个过程会导致电池短路，从而造成电池快速放电。
取出的电池会被放入盐水中释放储存的能量，然后再进行安全处置。
与此同时，设备上使用的不同类型金属会被拆解分离，连接电缆也会被拆除。在此过程中，橡胶部件、塑料和废料也会被移除并进行相应的分类。
陆路交通管理局表示，此类设备的金属框架随后将被送去粉碎。该机构提醒行动辅助设备用户，务必使用符合规定的设备，因为不符合规定的设备“最终可能”会被送往废品场粉碎。
据陆路交通管理局称，9 月份的执法行动中，主动出行执法人员共查获 503 起违法行为，并扣押了 70 个设备。
