In Queensland all those under 16 years of age will be banned from all e-scooters & e-bikes. Over 16 & the minimum requirement is a learner licence. More powerful devices that can reach speeds of 25km/h require registration & insurance. #qldpol https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-24/queensland-ebike-escooter-ban-children-licence-reforms/106487910
E-bike and e-scooter riders to require a licence in Qld under proposed laws

@Qldaah What an embarrassment. We’re living in a nanny state, honestly…

@stephengentle A lot of for, against and undecided responses to it across my platforms. Enforcement methods are key.

@Qldaah @stephengentle It is the lack of enforcement of vehicles that is the problem. Not the e-things.
But e-things are ridden by kids and young people.
Easy targets for the goons
