From 1 July 2026, tougher laws for e-scooters and e-bikes will be rolled out including:
new police powers to seize and destroy illegal devices
riders must be aged 16+ and hold a licence from 31 August (some exemptions apply)
Families are encouraged to check the new rules and talk to their child before they ride: https://streetsmarts.initiatives.qld.gov.au/e-bikes-e-scooters/
