The big e-bike problem. They hurt.
'We see a lot of these riders with no helmets on at all, or bicycle helmets, and they're doing non-bicycle speeds. They're doing speeds that are normally reserved for registered vehicles like motorbikes, which have their own laws around protective equipment, like proper helmets.' The latest Victorian Injury Surveillance Unit data shows a 627 per cent jump in people going to hospital with an e-bike injury since 2019, though data analyst Jane Hayman noted the rate climbed as people were using the bikes more. There was a 60 per cent rise in injuries in the 2023/24 financial year. Hayman said 15-19 year olds were most often going to hospital in Victoria, followed by 20-24 and 25-29 year olds. 'While those aged 16 years or less are not legally allowed to ride on the road, 47 per cent of this age group were injured while riding on a road, street or highway,' Hayman said. 'This is a concern given that they are the largest age group attending hospitals. As e-bikes become more popular more research is warranted to find out how these bikes are being used and ridden by children.' Loading Earlier this month, a pedestrian was hit and killed by a modified e-bike in Victoria and the rider was left with likely 'life-changing' injuries. The dead man's brother called for e-bikes to be banned because of the danger they posed. In New South Wales this month, the government announced plans to legalise e-scooters following a parliamentary inquiry into their use, but made no changes to e-bike regulations. E-bikes that have been modified to go faster than 25km/h are illegal to ride on or near public roads in both Victoria and NSW. 'Work is going on to create a better framework for shared e-bike schemes that will reduce clutter on streets,' the NSW government said in a statement. 'E-bikes must be mostly propelled by riders; a motor cannot be the only source of power and is there to help riders ... The same rules and responsibilities apply to riders of an e-bike as a traditional bicycle.' Transport for NSW does not track e-bikes as a separate category in its injury data. In Queensland, the government launched a parliamentary inquiry this month into the use of e-mobility devices because of a rise in injuries from both e-bikes and e-scooters – up 112 per cent between 2021 and 2024. Minister for Transport and Main Roads Brent Mickelberg said the increase in injuries could not be ignored. 'It's important we consider all research and opinions, to ensure a safe and reliable future for e-scooters and e-bikes, especially as we welcome visitors from all over the world for the 2032 Games,' he said in a statement. Queensland Police said more than 2700 infringements were issued for illegal e-mobility road use between November 2022 and December 2024.
