‘Where illegal ebikes go to die’: first bikes seized under new laws in NSW crushed

The New South Wales government has crushed 23 illegal ebikes seized under new laws. This marks the first time the government has taken such action against ebikes in the state. The move is a response to a surge in trauma injuries related to ebike accidents, with a major Sydney hospital reporting a rise in serious injuries including fractures, internal bleeding, and organ damage.

Why it matters

Ebikes have caused serious injuries in NSW, including fractures and internal bleeding. The seizure and crushing of illegal ebikes under new laws may help reduce these risks.
