E-bikes are a popular way to get around, but with collisions on the rise, we're cracking down on compliance and safety. Nearly 90% of e-bikes involved in accidents are either overpowered, non-compliant, or used incorrectly. There are two types of legal e-bikes. 🚴 Electrically-powered assisted cycles (EPACs) have a motor with a maximum power output of 250 watts. 🚴‍♀️ Power-assisted bicycles have one or more motors with a total power output no more than 200 watts. If your e-bike is more powerful than these limits, it's considered a motorcycle. That means you need a license and registration, and you're subject to the same penalties for offenses like drink and drug driving. Don't risk the fine: ☑️ Check your e-bike meets the criteria so it's compliant. ☑️ Always wear a helmet. ☑️ Put away distractions like your phone. ☑️ Use bicycle lanes and obey traffic lights. #roadsafety #ridesafe #ebike
