Common questions
What makes an e-bike legal in Australia?
A pedal-assist e-bike (EN 15194) may have at most 250 W continuous rated power, and the motor must stop assisting at 25 km/h. Most states only allow a throttle up to 6 km/h. In Queensland a compliance label is required from 1 March 2027.
Are 500 W or 750 W e-bikes legal in Australia?
Not as pedal-assist e-bikes on public roads and paths in most states. NSW previously allowed 500 W e-bikes and is moving to the 250 W European standard, with bikes bought legally under the old rules allowed for a transition period.
