WHAT MAKES AN E-BIKE SAFE?
AS e-bikes surge in popularity across NSW, particularly among teenagers, the NSW Government is introducing measures to improve safety and reduce risk for families. With around 600,000 households no owning an e-bike, and many more expected to buy one this Christmas, parents are being urged to check that any new device is safe, compliant and appropriate for young riders.Parents buying an e-bike this Christmas are encouraged to look for:
• A clear EN 15194 sticker or certification.
• A motor output of no more than 250 watts.
• A reputable brand with proper safety documentation.
• A model that has not been modified, “chipped,” or had its speed limiter removed.
