Queensland takes action on illegal e-motorbikes  

Bicycle Queensland is delighted that the Queensland Government has taken action on multiple fronts to clamp down on the illegal e-motorbikes that have proliferated on our streets, parks and footpaths. 

The Queensland Office of Fair Trading (OFT) has formally notified retailers that it will begin proactive compliance checks across the state. This is a significant development that aligns with Bicycle Queensland’s calls over the past 12 months for tougher oversight on the sale of non-compliant devices. This will hopefully reduce the number of throttle-driven e-motorbikes and conversion kits that do not meet Queensland’s e-bike regulations. This action will be of great relief to the many bike shops only selling legal e-bikes, which were not the problem.  

The QPS have also launched Operation X-ray Surety to enforce e-mobility compliance, targeting the use of non-compliant devices around Brisbane. This has included additional patrols but also safety education sessions run in schools. Earlier this week over 150 e-mobility infringement notices had been issued. The police have been visiting schools in the Logan area, to promote safety messaging around what constitutes a legal e-bike, and the types of e-motorbikes that are not legal to be used on public streets, parks or paths in Queensland. 

Further, state Transport Ministers are set to meet with the Commonwealth Government this month and changes to Australia’s import laws on e-motorbikes are firmly on the agenda. It is understood that Queensland’s Minister for Transport and Main Roads, Brent Mickelberg, has been helping lead the call for change. The Commonwealth has been slow in responding to what has been happening in our state, where three young people have lost their lives in October and November thus far. Bicycle Queensland continues to call on the Commonwealth Government to move swiftly.  

Bicycle Queensland CEO Professor Matt Burke referred specifically to the announcement from the Office of Fair Trading saying:  

“This is a good step towards protecting riders and parents from unknowingly buying unsafe products. A whole industry had emerged of retailers whose main business model seemed to be selling illegal e-motorbikes to parents and kids. Using Fair Trading powers to clamp down on this was a key suggestion in Bicycle Queensland’s submission to the current Parliamentary Inquiry into E-Mobility Safety and Use. We are pleased that the Government has moved on this. But further action may well be needed to stop retailers selling illegal e-motorbikes ‘for use on private property only’ with a nod and a wink, knowing full-well customers are buying them for use on-road and in public spaces.” 

Bicycle Queensland wishes to thank our partners who’ve worked on this advocacy campaign, including Queensland Walks, the RACQ, The Motor Traders Association of Qld, and the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons.  

Prof Burke said, “There is still much to do. We now look to the Commonwealth Government to re-introduce appropriate import restrictions and ensure illegal e-motorbikes can’t so easily enter Australia. This will help cut the problem off at the source and stop the deaths we’re seeing in Queensland spreading interstate.” 

Prof Burke said, “Thankfully there are so many awesome bikes and legal e-bikes to choose from no-one ever needs to buy an illegal motorbike. Just looking at some of the mountain bikes that are for sale today in reputable bike shops, there are fantastic options.” 

What the OFT Will Do 

In a letter sent to importers, wholesalers, and retailers this week, the OFT warns that: 

  • Many devices are being marketed and sold as legal e-bikes when they are not legal for use on roads and paths. 
  • Using these high-powered devices in public spaces has already resulted in serious injuries and fatalities. 
  • Businesses may face penalties of up to $50 million for corporations and $2.5 million for individuals under the Australian Consumer Law if they misrepresent illegal devices as compliant. 

The OFT have said that they will visit Queensland suppliers to clarify the law and will follow up with a targeted compliance program examining whether retailers are misleading customers about the legality of their products. 

What counts as a legal E-Bike in Queensland 

To be considered legal for use on public roads and paths in Queensland, a device must meet all of the following criteria: 

  • It is predominantly pedal-powered. 
  • The motor only provides assistance while the rider is pedalling. 
  • Throttle control is permitted only up to 6km/h – also known as walk-mode 
  • The motor has a maximum continuous power rating of 250 watts. 
  • The motor cuts out at 25km/h, and the bike can be pedalled at higher speeds 
  • High-powered motors are never legal, even if software-limited to appear compliant. 

Any device that exceeds these limits is classified as a motorcycle and must meet TMR vehicle registration requirements.  

Many retailers continue to sell high-powered throttle-driven electric motorbikes without making this clear to customers – a practice BQ has strongly campaigned against. 

Protecting riders, parents, and communities 

BQ firmly believes that compliant e-bikes are safe, sustainable transport options helping commuters and boosting recreational cycling and cycling tourism. The problem lies with high-powered, throttle-controlled illegal motorbikes that are being passed off as bicycles and sold to riders, including children, with tragic consequences. 

BQ encourages consumers to look for devices certified to EN15194 (the European Standard for power-assisted bicycles) and to seek advice from reputable retailers. Further details are available via our E-bike rules page. 

BQ will continue advocating for stronger national import rules, better enforcement, and clearer public education, ensuring Queenslanders can enjoy the benefits of legal e-bikes whilst maintaining road safety.

Has your school applied for the School Transport Infrastructure Program? 

Bicycle Queensland (BQ) is encouraging schools across the state to apply for the School Transport Infrastructure Program (STIP) before nominations close on November 17. 

The Crisafulli Government has committed $4 million this financial year to the program, which funds projects that improve safety and accessibility around schools. Eligible projects include upgrades to drop-off and pick-up facilities, bikeways and shared paths, bus zones, pedestrian refuges and crossings.  

The program aims to make it easier and safer for children to walk, ride or take public transport to school, rather than relying on car travel. 

Over the next four years, the program will receive $27.5 million, with $4 million allocated to new projects this financial year. 

While the new funding is welcome, with nearly 1800 schools across Queensland, the current pool will average out to a little over $13,500 per school for the entire program – highlighting the need for a broader commitment to long-term investment, and to invest in behavioural change. 

BQ CEO Professor Matthew Burke said the funding represents an opportunity for schools to put forward practical, community-led safety improvements, but it should also be a starting point for deeper reform. 

“We’re encouraging every school to apply – this is money that can make a real difference for children’s safety and independence,” Professor Burke said. 

“But improving safety around schools won’t be possible via infrastructure with this level of investment. We need changes to regulations to support programs that work overseas, including lower speed limits near schools and utilising trained school crossing supervisors to make temporary street closures, creating safe ‘School Streets’ zones like those in Europe, Korea and the UK.” 

Bicycle Queensland continues to advocate for safer school environments that encourage more active travel. As highlighted in BQ’s recent article on changing school drop-off habits, reducing car dependence for school trips could help ease congestion, improve air quality, and boost children’s health and wellbeing. 

“Every parent knows how chaotic the school gate can be,” Professor Burke said. “But if we shift the focus from car drop-offs to safe, independent journeys on foot, by bike or on a scooter, we can make our communities calmer, healthier and safer.” 

Schools can get more details from the Department of Transport and Main Roads website.

Joint press conference calls for immediate action on illegal e-motorbikes

At a joint press conference in Brisbane today, RACQ, Bicycle Queensland, Queensland Walks, and the Motor Trades Association of Queensland urged state and federal governments to act swiftly to protect Queenslanders and restore confidence in safe, legal e-mobility. 

RACQ’s Dr Michael Kane said existing laws already give authorities the power to impound and remove illegal e-motorbikes, but enforcement has been inconsistent across the state. 

“We have a crisis on our footpaths and roads,” Dr Kane said. “E-bikes and e-mobility are a great asset to the community – our problem is illegal motorbikes.” 

“These are unregistered, unsafe, and can be impounded today by police or transport officers. We need to see a genuine crackdown. The message to parents is simple: do not buy your child an illegal e-motorbike.” 

Compliant e-bikes versus e-motorbikes or non-compliant e-bikes can be identified via their output, speed assistance limits and other criteria. The Street Smarts website has information to assist. 

Bicycle Queensland’s CEO Professor Matt Burke said the problem stems from federal import rules that were relaxed in 2021, allowing illegal e-motorbikes to enter the country under the guise of e-bikes. 

“If I can speak directly to Ministers Catherine King and Tony Burke – in 2021 the Morrison Government changed the rules on imports and allowed these illegal motorbikes to come in,” Professor Burke said. 

“It’s within your power as the Federal Government to change this and stop the importation of these vehicles. If we don’t act soon, the problems we’re seeing with deaths of children in Queensland will be replicated around Australia.” 

Professor Burke stressed that legal pedal-assist e-bikes remain an important and safe part of Queensland’s transport network. 

“We’ve had legal e-bikes on our streets, in parks and on footpaths for more than 15 years without major problems,” he said. “The issue is the unregulated importation and retailing of high-powered electric motorbikes.” 


Brad Flanagan, General Manager for Industry Skills at the Motor Trades Association of Queensland, said illegal electric motorbikes have no place on Queensland’s roads or paths. 

“There are unregulated, illegal motorbikes in our parks and on our footpaths. They’re a danger to the community. People are being hurt, and people are being killed,” Mr Flanagan said. 

“If you want a motorbike or e-mobility device, go to a reputable, licensed dealer. You’ll get proper advice, a legal product, and clear guidance on whether it needs to be registered or licensed.” 

Mr Flanagan said some retailers were deliberately misleading consumers. 

“We know there are unscrupulous dealers giving instructions on how to modify legal products into illegal ones. They need to be dealt with. This is about getting unsafe, unlicensed vehicles out of our parks, off our footpaths, and off our roads.” 

In the meantime, BQ CEO Prof. Matt Burke took aim at retailers selling e-motorbikes. 

“Retailers have to take some responsibility here. The business model of some shops seems to be primarily selling illegal e-motorbikes to parents and kids. It’s not an industry we’re supportive of.” 

The growth of active transport will reduce congestion and improve the health of Queensland’s cities and towns. And riding e-scooters or bikes pales in uptake compared to walking – yet the rise of non-compliant e-motorbikes and e-scooters is putting walking at risk on shared paths. 

Anna Campbell, Executive Officer of Queensland Walks, said pedestrians across the state are increasingly fearful of using shared paths. 

“Queenslanders are telling us they’re nervous about stepping out on their footpaths and shared paths because of illegal devices moving too fast,” Ms Campbell said. 

“We support e-mobility as an important part of transport equity, but we need safer paths, better enforcement, and separated infrastructure so that pedestrians, riders and rollers can all use our public spaces safely.” 

It is clear that a coordinated state and federal intervention is required, targeting illegal importers and retailers, strengthening enforcement, and ensuring safe transport and recreation for all Queenslanders and ideally, all Australians.

‘Don’t buy your kids an illegal e-motorbike’: BQ warns after tragic deaths 

Bicycle Queensland has expressed deep concern following the deaths of an eight-year-old on the Sunshine Coast and a teenager on the Gold Coast in the past week. Both children were killed while riding electric motorbikes. There are many of these devices that are being sold as “e-bikes” throughout Queensland and Australia – however the majority do not meet Australia’s legal pedal-assist standards. 

What are the e-bike rules in Queensland?

BQ CEO Professor Matt Burke said the incidents highlight a growing safety crisis. 

“The recent deaths while children are using illegal e-motorbikes on the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast have been pretty concerning,” he said. “Bicycle Queensland was advocating for appropriate regulation enforcement over a year ago, having written to the Transport Minister earlier this year. Since then we have made our submissions and presented to the Queensland Parliamentary Inquiry into e-mobility, as have many of our members. 

The inquiry is due to report by 30 March 2026. In the meantime, communities are concerned about the safety not just of e-motorbike riders, but pedestrians and other road or shared path users. 

“Bicycle Queensland is strongly against these electric motorbikes and has been from the start,” Professor Burke said. “It’s going to take a bit of time with the Queensland government inquiry to finish. It’s meant to report in March next year and then it’ll take time for the government response to come through. So, it could be many, many months before we see all the changes we’d like to see.” 

Professor Burke said the bigger issue lies with federal importation rules. 

“The worst news is that the Federal government, who created this mess by deregulating importation rules, are showing absolutely no indication that they want to do anything about this and re-regulate – that’s really, really unfortunate.” Bicycle Queensland has lobbied the relevant Ministers, the Hon. Catherine King and Tony Burke, and our friends at the national cycling lobby – We Ride Australia – have been working hard, but without much success thus far.  

Bicycle Queensland wholeheartedly support the sale and use of e-bikes that do meet Queensland regulations. Half of our staff own and ride legal e-bikes. The Qld Government provided rebates to encourage their take-up as recently as September 2024. The adoption of legal e-bikes has been great for cycle commuting, for uptake of recreational cycling and growth in cycle tourism. 

In the meantime, Prof. Burke has urged Queenslanders to prioritise safety and legality when buying e-mobility devices this Christmas. Just because you can buy the device, it doesn’t mean it meets the required standards. 

“If you’re talking to your friends, to your family, whoever it is, can you just tell people don’t buy your kids an illegal motorbike for Christmas?” he said. “It’s quite likely, after the inquiry – maybe even beforehand – that people will have these vehicles impounded.”  

Bicycle Queensland is calling for: 

  • Federal action to restore import regulations and stop illegal e-motorbikes entering Australia; 
  • Immediate state measures to enforce current laws and raise public awareness; and 
  • Community education so parents understand what constitutes a legal, safe e-bike. 

 
BQ encourages anyone looking for e-bikes that are legal, fun to ride and safe to visit their local reputable bike shop and ask their advice. The Bicycle Queensland website has links to reputable bike stores that will help you know what is and isn’t legal and help you find an e-bike that meets the rules. There are great mountain e-bikes, gravel e-bikes and commuting e-bikes that are legal, a lot of fun to ride and worth considering.

Twin Bridges Track and Wangetti Trail forge ahead

Bicycle Queensland welcomes the news from the Queensland Government that progress on the Wangetti Trail project will resume, with the reopening of the Twin Bridges Track also set to move ahead – amongst other infrastructure projects in the region.

The Twin Bridges Track is one of a number of iconic routes on the Atherton Tablelands. A combination of old forest roads and old Aboriginal trails, the route runs from Black Mountain Road, heading east and descending into a valley before climbing back out, exiting onto Black Mountain Road just south of the historic Bump Track – which delivers riders to Port Douglas.

The trail has been used for a range of local events, and was part of the penultimate stage of the 2017 Crocodile Trophy, a UCI classified stage race that found its home in Far North Queensland for over a decade. While the route would often be damaged in the wet season, it has been closed since 2020 due to bridge deterioration and cyclone including to bridges. Contractors have now been engaged to restore and reopen the trail, which will offer new opportunities for locals and visitors to experience the region’s natural beauty by bike or on foot.

While separate from the original Wangetti Trail alignment, the reopening of Twin Bridges will complement a broader project by connecting key sections of Far North Queensland’s coast and hinterland. Works on the Ellis Beach to Wangetti link are expected to begin following the 2026 wet season, which will ultimately create a continuous trail access from Palm Cove to Port Douglas.

For mountain bikers, there is more good news. The Far North Queensland Regional Organisation of Councils (FNQROQ) has built its Regional Mountain Bike Strategy for 2024-2034, tying together 12 regional councils and numerous mountain bike trail networks. These include Atherton, Smithfield, Kuranda, Davies Creek, Cardwell and of course Wangetti. Their plan sets out long-term plans for mountain bike trail and infrastructure development and management, along with developing multi-day adventure cycling routes (ie: bikepacking) to link the region together.

Smithfield will take the limelight, as it should given its proximity to an international airport, beaches and countless places to stay. Having hosted two World Championships, numerous World Cups and three Crankworx events, Smithfield will be getting updated trail infrastructure that should bring in more major events. Expect an 85km network by late 2028, thanks to a $14-15 million dollar expansion from the Queensland’s Department of Environment, Science and Innovation and the Destination 2045 tourism plan alongside the Wangetti Trail.

Atherton has a $1 million refurbishment happening, thanks to Queensland’s disaster recovery program. The glow up will make essential repairs to about 47km of the existing 55km network, with the work undertaken by Contour Works.

Davies Creek is also working on a refurb. The fast trails have been showcased in events like Reef to Reef, but the focus is on being an all-abilities trail hub, including a 14km epic style trail and flowing singletrack. With a campsite, swimming holes and an interpretive trail – the upgrades will be made possible thanks to community funding from the Community Gambling Benefit Fund, Bendigo Bank and more.

The Wangetti Trail is slated to run 95km from Palm Cove to Port Douglas. With about 8km open to Ellis Beach, there is a lot of work to do, but this trail will have the highest appeal in the region, traversing one of the most beautiful stretches of coast line in Australia. It could be one of Australia’s Great Rides.

For Bicycle Queensland, this range of projects highlight the importance of investment in a mix of safe, accessible trails that support both recreational and adventure riding, while still pursuing more demanding trails to attract events – all while delivering economic and social value to regional towns.

“Bicycle Queensland has been part of advocacy in Far North Queensland for decades, supporting groups like the Cairns Bicycle User Group to get good outcomes on the ground,” said BQ CEO Prof. Matt Burke. “BQ helped pioneer cycle tourism in the region, bringing events like Cycle Queensland through. We will continue to support these efforts, working with other partners like Outdoors Queensland to get a better state trail network in place. We’ll continue to fight for links like the Wangetti and the Atherton-Mareeba Rail Trail. We also hope to help seed more regional cycling events up north very soon.”

With adventure rides like the FNQ Pioneer Bike Trail taking shape, trail upgrades and more, Far North Queensland is shaping up to be a mountain biking and adventure riding capital for the dry season.

Riders roll in to Ride2Work Day at Queen’s Wharf 

More than 150 riders joined Bicycle Queensland (BQ) and The Star this morning (October 15) for a special Ride2Work Day coffee catch-up at the Velo Café, right beside the Bicentennial Bikeway at Queen’s Wharf Brisbane. 

The event brought together regular commuters, BQ Members, occasional riders, and cycling advocates for a morning of conversation, caffeine and connection. It was a chance to celebrate the benefits of riding to work, but also celebrate riding bikes. It was also an opportunity for some guests to discuss ways to make cycling safer and more accessible across Queensland. 

BQ CEO Professor Matt Burke spoke about the importance of creating a city that supports active transport. 

“We need more bikeways and more street trees to make Brisbane a liveable, healthy city,” Professor Burke said. “Queensland already has some excellent cycling infrastructure, but it’s often disconnected. We want to see 60 kilometres of new bikeways delivered in the lead-up to Brisbane 2032 – just as Paris did to transform how people move around their city.” 

The Star’s Chief Operating Officer Kelvin Dodt also addressed the crowd, highlighting Queen’s Wharf Brisbane’s support for community initiatives and active transport to their precinct. 

“We believe this is a fantastic space. We are very much committed to making sure that the precinct is very community friendly and we work and collaborate consistently with different groups, including Bicycle Queensland, to make sure that everyone enjoys what we have to offer here in the precinct.” 

Thank you to The Star for letting us use their event space this morning, and for providing the coffees for riders! BQ was also joined by Epic Cycles, one of our BQ Link partners and a long time supporter, on hand to help give some attention to the squeaky wheels that were riding to work. CycleLaw, BQ’s legal partner, were also on hand to answer questions that BQ Members or others riding to work may have had.

Ride2Work Day is Australia’s largest celebration of day-to-day riding, encouraging more people to try cycling as a convenient, affordable and healthy way to get to work. Events like this one can help people step out their door and onto a bike for their journey, but of course to do that we need to feel safe. Bicycle Queensland will continue to advocate to make Queensland a safer and more connected place to ride a bike.

Thousands ride the 2025 Mater Brisbane to Gold Coast Cycle for Cancer 

Almost 4,000 cyclists took to the road on a humid Sunday, 12 October, for one of Queensland’s most iconic charity rides – the Mater Brisbane to Gold Coast Cycle for Cancer. Riders rolled out in waves from Brisbane’s South Bank before making their way along the 100-kilometre route to Southport, cheered on by supporters and volunteers the whole way. 

The event, delivered by the Mater Foundation in partnership with Bicycle Queensland, continues to unite the riding community while raising funds to support cancer research, treatment, and care. This year’s event was one for the record books, with participants raising close to $700,000 to support the Mater’s life-changing work. 

Rowan Foster from Mater Foundation said the generosity of the community was what made the event so special. 

“Nearly 4,000 people out there today riding from Brisbane to the Gold Coast, this is an incredible result. A lot of people are doing it with purpose, supporting or honouring a loved one affected by cancer. We’ve raised a record result this year, close to $700,000. It’s been a fantastic day.” 

For the riders who tackled the B2GC the event is both a personal challenge and a celebration of cycling in Queensland. We saw a host of jerseys on the road and at Southport from many B2GC events over the years – and a few from our previous Cycle Queensland events as well. Neopro were even on site at the finish to measure up riders who were looking to order their own jersey as a memento. 

The course offered an unforgettable experience, including almost 20 kilometres of traffic-free riding on the South East Busway, giving participants the rare thrill of cruising along one of Brisbane’s busiest commuter corridors with nothing but bikes in sight. 

This year also saw strong participation from regional Queenslanders and interstate visitors alike – a sign of the event’s growing appeal and reputation for quality organisation, community spirit, and on-road safety. A team from Yeppoon was even one of the top fundraisers! 

Bicycle Queensland’s partnership with the Mater Foundation continues to play a vital role in supporting this major event. From rider communications and advocacy to event operations and marshalling, BQ’s involvement helps ensure thousands of Queenslanders can safely enjoy this signature ride each year. 

A huge thank you goes out to the event marshals, volunteers, Queensland Police, and traffic controllers who worked tirelessly to keep everyone safe on the day. And a special thanks to all BQ members, supporters, and friends who not only took on the B2GC challenge but also stopped by the BQ tent at Southport to say hello and share their stories from the ride. 

Bicycle Queensland CEO Professor Matt Burke congratulated the Mater Foundation on delivering another outstanding event, saying it perfectly showcased the joy, health, and community benefits of cycling. 

“The Mater Brisbane to Gold Coast Cycle for Cancer is a wonderful example of what mass bike rides bring to Queensland. Thousands of people, smiling faces, meeting other cyclists, riding together, raising funds for a good cause. Congratulations to the good folks at the Mater for another hugely successful event. The police and marshals did a great job making the route safer.” 

Prof Burke noted that safe cycling between the cities shouldn’t require such events. “I hope that one day soon anyone can ride directly from Brisbane to the Gold Coast on any day of the year on a safe route. We have gaps that need fixing to make that possible.” 

Bicycle Queensland is proud to support the Mater Brisbane to Gold Coast Cycle for Cancer and the thousands of riders who take on the challenge each year – see you in 2026! 

Looking for your next challenge? BQ have partnered with Lions Brisbane West for the Ipswich Scenic 100 on March 2026 – entries are open now!

Can you manage a Week Without Driving? 

How long could you get by without using a car? A day? A week? For many Queenslanders, driving feels like the only option – but what happens when we look beyond the steering wheel?

The Week Without Driving is a global initiative that shines a light on what it’s like to live without access to a private vehicle. It began in the US with disability rights advocates, and has since spread internationally. In 2025, the Week Without Driving runs from September 29 to October 5th. Bicycle Queensland and Queensland Walks are proud to support the campaign here in Queensland along with disability and sustainable transport groups worldwide.

Taking part means choosing to make all your everyday trips by bike, on foot, on public transport, or by sharing rides. It’s not just a personal challenge but an invitation to see our communities through a new lens. What’s easy? What’s difficult? And where could we make changes to ensure everyone, whether they can drive or not, has safe and affordable ways to get around?

The Week Without Driving is a chance to:

  • Experience the barriers faced by people who can’t or don’t drive.
  • Discover the health and wellbeing benefits of walking, cycling, and catching public transport.
  • Share your insights with decision makers, helping create communities that are more connected, inclusive, and sustainable.

“The Week Without Driving campaign reminds us that everyone needs safe and connected streets especially for people who walk, ride, or roll,” said Anna Campbell, Executive Officer at Queensland Walks.

“This initiative is about awareness and action,” said BQ’s CEO Matt Burke. “When more of us experience life without a car, even briefly, we see how vital good walking and cycling infrastructure is for our neighbourhoods. We learn about the paths, the cycling routes and public transport options that already exist, and how to use them in future. We empathise more with those who have no choice but to do all their trips car-free.”

Whether you commit to a single day, or take on the full week, you’ll be helping spark important conversations about transport, access, and equity in Queensland. Of course, it is ok to drive – but use it as a chance to reflect on the difficulties for those who aren’t in a position to opt for private motorised transport.

More details are available on the Week Without Driving website: https://weekwithoutdriving.org/
