## Resource

Sydney police seized 36 illegal ebikes on the northern beaches, including one clocked at 90 kph ridden by a 14-year-old — sparking a crackdown under new laws that allow destruction of dangerous machines. Officers used portable speed testers to identify bikes that don’t cut power at 25 kph or have been tampered with. With over 200 ebike-related injuries and 4 deaths in NSW this year, authorities stress these vehicles must behave like bicycles, not motorcycles. Owners have two weeks to appeal seizures — otherwise, bikes will be crushed. More enforcement operations are planned statewide as public safety takes center stage amid ebikes’ rising popularity.
