Cycle safety tips

Staying safe while cycling is essential. Riders must: 

  • Wear an approved helmet 
  • Ensure their bike is fitted with a bell 
  • Use front and rear lights when riding at night.

For further guidance on riding safely in traffic and on shared paths, visit Transport NSW's Safe Bicycle Riding page.

E-bikes

There are currently two types of permitted e-bikes in NSW: 

Power-assisted pedal cycles 

Electrically power-assisted cycles. 

The rider must primarily propel these bikes – a motor can't be the only source propelling it. The motor should only help the rider, like when going uphill or facing strong winds. 

The rules for e-bikes will soon change. Choose a bike that meets the European Standard EN 15194 - it’s legal to ride now and in the future.

For more information, view the Transport for NSW E-bikes: Advice for families factsheet.

E-scooters

In NSW, privately owned e-scooters can only be used on private property. It is illegal to ride them on public roads or road-related areas, including footpaths, shared paths, cycleways and cycle paths.
