E-Bikes for the Family: Fun, Freedom, and Safety for Everyone!

E-bikes are fast becoming the go-to family activity – and it’s easy to see why! They’re fun, fast, and make riding together a breeze, no matter your fitness level. Once Dad or big brother hops on an e-bike, it won’t be long before everyone else wants to join in on the action!

E-bikes are a great way for teens and younger riders to enjoy more independence, explore the outdoors, and spend quality time with family. But with great power (and pedals!) comes great responsibility. That means learning not just the road rules, but also understanding what’s expected of you when riding on shared paths, footpaths, or in parks.

Each state and territory has its own rules about e-bikes – especially around things like speed limits, motor power, and where you can ride. Unlike cars, where you're trusted to stick to the speed limit no matter how powerful the vehicle, some states limit how fast e-bikes can go or how powerful their motors can be to keep everyone safe.

So before you hit the trails or cruise the streets, make sure your ride is road-legal for your age, and that you're up to speed with your local laws.

Stay safe, ride smart, and most of all – have fun out there! E-biking as a family is all about freedom, fitness, and making great memories together.
