Riders must slow to 12 kph near pedestrians, and fines are brutal—$518 for no helmet, up to $6,800 for drink-riding, and $345–$1,986 for speeding. Enforcement is heavy in Brisbane and Gold Coast, with operations running until mid-2027. Some riders, even teens, are caught off guard—like a 14-year-old fined for an unapproved bike. Police are zero-tolerance, seizing models like Fatfish and Surron that don’t meet legal standards for pedal assist or motor output. But there’s a grace period: riders until Feb 28, 2027, can get bikes labeled compliant or scooters speed-limited. An assurance scheme is also being developed for e-trikes and similar devices.
