Deliveroo has stopped assigning food delivery orders to riders on personal mobility devices (PMDs), as the zero-tolerance stance for the electric scooter footpath ban kicked in yesterday.

Any existing PMD riders who have not switched vehicles or applied for the Land Transport Authority's (LTA) e-scooter trade-in grant by the deadline on Tuesday will not be able to continue working for Deliveroo until "they confirm they would like to switch vehicles", said a Deliveroo spokesman.
