NSW police granted powers to crush illegal e-bikes
Published 4 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
The New South Wales Government is introducing new legislation granting police and transport officers enhanced powers to permanently confiscate and destroy illegal e-bikes that don't comply with regulations. E-bikes have surged in popularity amongst teenagers in recent years, resulting in antisocial behaviour and a 300% rise in injuries. The Opposition wants mandatory registration for e-bikes to hold dangerous riders accountable, but the Government has ruled this out, citing unfair costs for riders seeking cheaper transport options.
