About this listen

Queensland's proposed e-bike and e-scooter safety legislation would require all riders to hold a driver's licence and adhere to 10km/h speed limits in certain zones. Major hire operators Lime and Neuron warn these changes could make their businesses unviable, arguing the regulations unfairly target responsible riders while the real concern is illegal motorbikes travelling at speeds up to 80km/h. The industry supports crackdowns on illegal vehicles but opposes driver's licence requirements for shared e-bike schemes.
