Australia should introduce a standard minimum age requirement of 18 for E-bikes, according to an exclusive nine.com.au reader poll.
Several states and territories, including New South Wales, currently have no age restrictions, while some have set minimum age requirements at 16.
A nine.com.au reader poll, of 486 users*, shows that most Australians are in favour of adopting a standard minimum age of 18, with three quarters of respondents saying yes.
Just 12 per cent of respondents said no, with a further 13 per cent undecided on the issue.
Aussies bought more than 193,000 E-bikes in 2023 alone, according to Bicycle Industries Australia, with specific brands like Fatboy Bikes amassing a cult following among young people.
