E-Bike Safety

• Children under 16 and adult riders accompanying and supervising them may ride on the footpath and are encouraged to ride away from the road.  
• It’s the law for everyone to wear a helmet when riding a bike in any public place. The helmet must meet Australian Standards and be securely fitted and fastened.
• Protective clothing, such as enclosed shoes, also help keep children and young people safe on wheels.
• At intersections, young people and adults must dismount and use safe pedestrian behaviour as they wheel the bike, e-bike or scooter across the road.
• Adults can help children and young people learn safe cycling practices by riding with them and talking with them about the importance of wearing a helmet and following the rules when riding.
