About half of private e-mobility devices non-compliant, survey finds

Key points

• About half of privately owned e-mobility devices in Queensland are non-compliant, according to a government-funded survey. The study estimates close to one million private devices across the state, including 587,000 e-bikes.
• A third of e-bike riders are aged over 60. The most common issue reported was a maximum speed above 25km/h.
• Since new laws took effect in July, police have seized 600 e-bikes that do not meet the European Standard EN15194. The state government says it has since introduced stronger laws and enforcement.
