Back to EpisodesQueensland Proposes New E-Bike, Scooter Rules
Description
Queenslands parliamentary committee proposes new rules for electric bikes, scooters, and skateboards to enhance safety. The changes include classifying high-powered motorbikes for legal road use with a license, registration, and insurance. Standard e-bikes would require a learners permit, banning under-sixteens. The rules aim to reduce accidents, with six thousand three hundred emergency room visits and twelve deaths last year. The RACQ supports the balance between safety and access, while councils can set slower speeds in busy areas.
