Short answer: yes. You can ride an e-bike on footpaths sa Queensland, but never faster than 12 km/h, and you must give way to pedestrians.
SaanSpeed and rules
Footpaths12 km/h maximum, at all times. Give way to pedestrians.
Shared pathsThe signed limit — but slow to 12 km/h when passing pedestrians. Keep left, ring your bell.
Separated pathsRide on the bike side only — never the pedestrian side ($172 fine).
Bikeways and bike lanesAllowed. Brisbane City Council allows up to 25 km/h on separated paths and bikeways.
RoadsMost roads are fine. Not on motorways or where “no bicycles” signs are installed.

Fines

  • Passing a pedestrian at over 12 km/h on a shared path: $518.
  • Not giving way to a pedestrian on a footpath or shared path: $172.
  • Riding on the pedestrian side of a separated path: $172.

Drivers and riders

Drivers must give riders at least 1 metre when passing sa zones of 60 km/h or less. Riders still need a helmet everywhere, and must be 16+ with at least a learner licence except on recreational trails. Licence rules.

Brisbane bikeways

Brisbane’s main bikeways — the Bicentennial, V1 Veloway, Kedron Brook at North Brisbane — are shared or separated paths, so the 12 km/h passing rule applies whenever people are walking. Inside South Bank Parklands the limit is 10 km/h. E-biking sa Brisbane.

Ang postcode mo ang nagpapasya kung ano ang makikita mo. Pickup lang ang mga battery, kaya lumalabas lang ang mga ito sa mga mamimiling malapit sa nagbebenta, at may ilang item na hindi ipinapakita sa bawat state.
