Why is the guardian conflating E motorbikes and normal legal ebikes? Overpowered ebikes are already illegal on roads. We either need to enforce it more or the commonwealth needs to ban them being imported.
The article is about illegal e-bikes that bypass the speed restrictions.
Because one of these is a relative rarity and the other could be in your garage right now!!!
