Police warn teen e-bike riders of looming crackdown

Teenagers on the northern beaches have been warned they risk fines and official police cautions if they ride electric-powered “fat bikes” illegally and dangerously.The looming crackdown comes after a spike in complaints about e-bikes and concerns from high school principals about the safety of their students and the general public.Northern Beaches Police, who have been conducting e-bike and pushbike enforcement operations with the Highway Patrol, are set to get tougher on riders who break road rules or interfere with controls to make them go faster.An e-bike safety audit conducted by Northern Beaches Council last year confirmed concerns about the risk of death or serious injury to walkers by the growing use, size and speed of the popular bikes.
