Transport and Other Legislation (Managing E-mobility Use and Protecting Our Communities) Amendment Bill 2026

This bill introduces sweeping reforms to how e-bikes, e-scooters and personal mobility devices are regulated in Queensland, responding to a near-doubling of injuries and 12 fatalities in 2025. It sets a minimum rider age of 16 with a licence requirement, gives police power to seize and destroy illegal devices, creates new drink riding offences for cyclists and e-mobility riders, and limits footpath speeds to 10 km/h.
