Episode Details

Queensland’s new e-bike and e-scooter laws kick in August 31st, requiring riders to be 16+ and hold a license to ride solo—aimed at boosting safety after tragic incidents like a 13-year-old’s death. Medical exemptions apply for three months, while rental companies have until March next year to verify rider credentials. Speed limits are now capped at 25 km/h on roads and 12 km/h on footpaths, with steeper fines. While critics worry about tourists caught without licenses, the government insists these rules will make public spaces safer by ensuring responsible, mature riders.
