The state of New South Wales recorded 226 injuries related to ebikes in 2024. In just the first seven months of 2025, that had already to surged to 233 injuries plus four deaths.
The rest of Australia has faced the same issue, with legal ebikes involved in 239 crashes in 2025 in Queensland, four of which were fatal, according to preliminary police data.
Nowhere in the article does it say anything about car deaths in Queensland and NSW in 2025. I'll look this up later but I fuckin bet you it's WAY higher than 0.57 deaths per month lmao
There are some "ebikes" in the pictures that should definitely require a license. I was going to say "I didn't know those monsters existed" but of course someone made something like that and tried to sell it as an "ebike for kids".
