E-Bike and E-Scooter Safety

Victoria Police wish to share a friendly reminder with our community that you must be 16 years of age to ride an e-scooter, and that e-bikes must be pedal assisted and follow the same rules as a non-powered bicycle.

Children of primary school age and the adult accompanying them can ride their bikes or regular unpowered scooters on the footpath.  Anyone over the age of 12 (not including an adult accompanying a child) must ride on the side of the road or on a bike path.  Helmets must be worn at all times while riding a bike or scooter.
