Episode Details

Queenslands e-mobility inquiry proposes licensing e-bike riders, banning under-sixteens, and limiting e-bike speeds on footpaths. Deputy chair Jonty Bush criticizes the move, arguing it unfairly groups safe, legal e-bikes with illegal motorbikes. She warns the rules could discourage active transport, particularly for older adults and those with disabilities. E-mobility injury stats show 6,300 emergency visits and 12 deaths last year, but details by device type are unclear. WorkCover claims rose mainly from e-scooters. The state government has three months to respond.
