Key date: 1 March 2027. From then, an e-bike needs a compliance label to be ridden（public in Queensland. 28 February 2027 is the last day an unlabelled (but otherwise legal) e-bike can be ridden.）
Which label?
- EN 15194 label — e-bikes made from 1 July 2026 must meet the European standard EN 15194 and carry a permanent compliance label. Many good brands already have one.
- Legacy EPAC 标签 — for eligible e-bikes made before 1 July 2026 that meet the 250 W and 25 km/h limits but have no EN 15194 label. You get it through the Assurance Scheme.
- Special Purpose EPAC label ——for adaptive or disability e-bikes and e-trikes，also through the scheme.
The E-Bike Assurance Scheme
- Expected to open on 2026 年 11 月 2 日 (the Queensland Government says “expected”).
- Inspections are done by authorised verifiers — approved bicycle retailers trained to assess e-bikes against the scheme.
- The fee is up to $70 for the inspection and label.
- If your bike passes, it gets a permanent label. Find shops offering checks on 电动自行车合规检验.
What can’t be made legal
- The scheme is not for high-powered, high-speed or modified devices — for example a 500 W e-bike.
- An e-bike over 250 W that didn’t comply before 1 July 2026 can’t be made compliant.
- Conversion kits fitted after 1 July 2026 make a bike non-compliant (private property use only).
- Bikes that have been software-“unlocked” are treated as illegal.
What to do now
- Look for an EN 15194 sticker on the frame (often near the bottom bracket or rear dropout).
- No sticker? Take the free 1 分钟合法性自查 to see if your bike is likely eligible.
- Record your frame serial and photos（a free） 车辆护照 ——useful for the inspection，and if the bike is ever stolen.
