  Hmmmm:

  From 1 March 2029, only e-bikes meeting the European standard will be road legal in NSW, with the three-year period reflecting the typical lifespan of an e-bike, providing those who purchased an e-bike legally- and those who sell them- time to adjust to the new rules. 

  I dunno what these people are doing to get only 3 years out of a bike.

    I’ve been riding my converted mountain star for 6 years. Still on the original battery even

    Yeah I’ve had mine for at least 3 years, riding several times a week, and it’s still going strong. Not expecting to replace it any time soon.

  Probably makes sense. But they don’t enforce the ebike laws they already have, so will they enforce this?

    They’ve been increasing enforcement recently and there was some outcry over police tactics that resulted in a death during a pursuit.

  e-bikes and e-motos are great and we need legislation to allow their use.
