New South Wales is looking to reduce the maximum power and speed of e-bikes after a rider died in a collision with a garbage truck in Sydney. NSW Premier Chris Minns said the government currently allows e-bikes up to 500 watts and speeds of 50-60 km/h. New rules would lower this to 250 watts and speeds of 25-30 km/h. The rider, a man in his 30s, died early Tuesday in Ultimo when his e-bike collided with a JJ Richards & Sons garbage truck turning on George Street. The truck driver, 28, was taken to hospital for tests. Police have launched an investigation but no charges were made. Premier Minns stressed the need for change: "We see some kids on bikes that are more like motorbikes. They can go as fast as a car, and as a result, people can get hurt." NSW police have warned parents to buy only legal e-bikes for their children as Christmas gifts. Assistant Commissioner David Driver said, "Don’t get pressured by your children, peers or salespeople into buying the most powerful bike. Police don’t want someone to make a mistake that costs them their life or causes them serious injury." He also highlighted a rise in modified bikes and cautioned about the risks of unsafe riding behaviors, including riding without helmets or lights. The government hopes to enforce the new limits through regulation in the coming months to make roads safer.
