Episode Details

Queensland police are on a high-speed e-bike crackdown, issuing nearly 1,000 tickets in just one month—roughly one every 45 minutes—as part of a year-long operation called Yankee Surety. New rules let cops seize illegal bikes, conduct breath tests, and ban those exceeding 25 kph. Over 250 bikes seized, 24 riders charged with DUI. Helmets still optional? Nope. Parents now legally responsible for kids’ riding. By end of month, riders must be 16+ with licenses; by Feb 2027, all e-bikes need compliance labels. NSW’s getting in too—with new powers to create slow zones. Critics say it’s overkill without more cops. Watch this space.
