Queensland fines went up 3.5% on 1 July 2026, when the new e-mobility laws started. These are the current amounts for e-scooters and other personal mobility devices from the Queensland Government. E-scooter offences carry no demerit points, but several fines can apply at once — and police can seize an illegal scooter.

How police are enforcing it
In the first three months of the new laws, police seized 558 non-compliant e-bikes and e-scooters and issued 2,486 infringement notices — more than 1,500 for not wearing a helmet and 157 for speeding — and caught 68 drink riders from 878 roadside breath tests (Queensland Government, 2 October 2026). If yours is seized: how to get a seized e-scooter back.
How to avoid them
- Make sure the scooter itself is legal: no faster than 25 km/h, 60 kg or less. Free e-scooter legal check
- Carry a licence (learner is enough) or ride under an exemption. Licence and age rules
- Ride at 12 km/h or less on footpaths and when passing people on shared paths, and stay off roads over 60 km/h. Where you can ride
- Helmet on, phone in a handlebar mount, lights at night, nobody on the back.
