Which licences count?
- A Queensland learner, provisional or open driver licence.
- An equivalent interstate or overseas licence — the Queensland Government says these are recognised.
- Your licence must be current. You can’t ride if it is expired, suspended or disqualified.
You don’t need a special e-bike licence or a motorbike licence, and a legal e-bike doesn’t need registration or insurance. The e-bike itself still has to be legal — see Νόμοι για ηλεκτρικά ποδήλατα στο Κουίνσλαντ.
Exemptions
- Supervised riders aged 12 to 17 without a licence can ride with a parent, grandparent or legal guardian close enough to give instructions. More on under-16s.
- Recreational riding areas with few pedestrians — for example rail trails, mountain bike trails and private bike parks — have no age or licence rule.
- Medical or disability exemption for people 16+ who can’t hold a licence: the E-Mobility Driver Licence Exemption form (F5464), signed by a health professional who knows your history. You must carry the form and show it to police if asked. The certificate lasts five years, and there is a grace period until 30 November 2026.
What’s the fine?
Riding without a licence or exemption is a $518 fine, whether you’re over or under 16. Parents of under-16s riding illegally can also be fined $518. Bicycle and e-bike offences carry no demerit points. All Queensland e-bike fines.
Do I have to carry my licence?
The official pages we checked don’t say riders must carry their licence. If you ride under a medical exemption, you must carry the completed form.
