E-bike or electric motorbike?

Some vehicles look like e-bikes but are electric motorcycles. On a Queensland road they need registration, insurance and a motorbike licence, and they aren’t allowed on paths at all. Warning signs when buying:

  • Pedalling is optional, or the pedals are just for show.
  • The throttle keeps working above 6 km/h.
  • It is advertised as “unlockable”, “off-road mode” or faster than 25 km/h.
  • The motor is rated above 250 W (500 W, 750 W, 1000 W…).

Since 1 July 2026 police can seize and destroy illegal devices, and the fine for a non-compliant bike is listed at $621. All fines.
