South Australia is facing mounting pressure to crack down on e-bike misuse, with calls for a minimum riding age of sixteen and expanded police powers to seize and destroy illegal, high-powered bikes. After teens as young as fourteen were arrested for reckless riding, blocking traffic, and running red lights on modified e-bikes, safety advocates, medical professionals, and the RAA are urging urgent action. Doctors report rising serious injuries from crashes involving these powerful machines, warning that their speed and weight make them dangerous for inexperienced riders. Proposals also include stricter enforcement on speeding and helmet use, improved import controls, and public education campaigns — all part of a state government review aiming to bring consistency and safety to personal mobility devices.
