eRideable Current Laws

Important update from the Department of Education.

Under WA road safety laws, only people aged 16 and over are permitted to use eRideables or eBikes with the motor engaged.

Starting Term 1, 2026 (from 2 February), students under 16 years old will not be allowed to use eRideables or eBikes on school grounds.

This applies to all WA public schools to support student safety and ensure compliance with road safety legislation.

For more information about eRideable and eBike rules, penalties, purchasing tips and safety advice, visit the Road Safety Commission website.
