Deputy chair of the committee opposed the bill, arguing it misses the real problem of high-powered illegal devices while criminalising people with disability, the elderly and ordinary pedal-assist riders, and that 122 amendments were rushed through without scrutiny.

Rather than targeting these dangerous high-powered devices it turns its attention to ordinary pedal-assist bicycles. Someone described this bill to me as swinging a sledgehammer at a mosquito, missing entirely and taking out the wall behind it.2026-06-03View Hansard
