Community consultation into e-bikes on public transport

The NSW Government is inviting public feedback on a proposed temporary ban of e-bikes, e-scooters, and other e-micromobility devices on train and metro services due to increased concerns about the fire safety risk from lithium-ion batteries.

The Have Your Say consultation period is open from today for three weeks and will be run in conjunction with a similar study by the Victorian Government, which is also consulting on new restrictions.

The consultation aims to get a better understanding of how a temporary ban would impact e-micromobility users, and alternative options for safe use on public transport.
