A national electric bike crackdown has gathered pace but some critics say it will fail at the first speed bump without increasing police resources.
Queensland has become the latest government to pump the brakes on e‑scooters and e‑bikes, banning children aged under 16 from using the devices under what's been called nation-leading laws.
In reforms introduced in parliament this week, riders over 16 must hold at least a learner's licence, police will be given powers to seize devices and speed limits are set to be lowered.
